What is the actual problem you are trying to solve here. Freezer details
are hairy and I have to re-learn them each time again and again but from
what I remember wait_event_freezable doesn't really depend on tyask
being freezable. It tells the freezer that the task is OK to exclude
while it is sleeping and that should be just the case for the oom
reaper. Or am I missing something?
