Re: [PATCH v2] mm,oom: exclude oom_task_origin processes if they are OOM-unkillable.

Hmm, is it really helpful though? What would you deduce from seeing a
large rss an OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN task? Misconfigured system? There must
have been a reason to mark the task that way in the first place so you
can hardly do anything about it. Moreover you can deduce the same from
the available information.

Users run processes that are vital to the machine with OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.  
This does not make them immune to having memory leaks that caused the oom 
condition, and identifying that has triaged many bugs in the past.

Thanks.
