Subject: mm: oom: terminate the oom_evaluate_task() loop early
Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2023 14:34:28 +0800
If task is allocating a lot of memory and has been marked to be killed
first, then it gets the highest score (LONG_MAX). Therefore, there is no
need to continue to calculate the points of other tasks. Just terminate
the oom_evaluate_task() loop early, when the task with the highest score
is found. By doing this, we can get some performance gains in
select_bad_process().
To implement it, the return value of oom_evaluate_task() is modified.
When the task with the highest score is found (points == LONG_MAX),
oom_evaluate_task() will return 1 and the loop will terminate early.
