Subject: memcg: make oom killer a no-op when no killable task can be found
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=df64f81bb1e01cbef967a96642dacf208acb7e72;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

memcg: make oom killer a no-op when no killable task can be found

It's pointless to try to kill current if select_bad_process() did not find
an eligible task to kill in mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() since it's
guaranteed that current is a member of the memcg that is oom and it is, by
definition, unkillable.
