Subject: memcontrol: move oom task exclusion to tasklist scan
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~463
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4c4a22148909e4c003562ea7ffe0a06e26919e3c;p=linux-2.6

memcontrol: move oom task exclusion to tasklist scan

Creates a helper function to return non-zero if a task is a member of a
memory controller:

	int task_in_mem_cgroup(const struct task_struct *task,
			       const struct mem_cgroup *mem);

When the OOM killer is constrained by the memory controller, the exclusion
of tasks that are not a member of that controller was previously misplaced
and appeared in the badness scoring function.  It should be excluded
during the tasklist scan in select_bad_process() instead.
