This is really tricky. OOM killer aims at the biggest memory hog. We shouldn't ignore it just because it hides into the fridge... So even if we "fix" oom killer to ignore frozen tasks (which is inherently racy btw.) then we have a potential problem of freezer abuse (e.g. in container environments). So I strongly believe that the OOM killer has to be able to kill a frozen tasks. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
