Indeed, my patch is intended for one particular case (OOM killer and threadgroups). But in general case there is still a race, so my patch should be reworked. Still, I think that fatal_signal_pending() is a sensible check, since the one for current task is already there, and there is a patch from David Rientjes that does almost the same [1]. So maybe it's a general condition for not invoking OOM killer but just setting TIF_MEMDIE for a task?
