Subject: mm/oom_kill.c: avoid killing init

When an oom killing happens we can see:

Out of memory: Kill process 9134 (init) score 3 or sacrifice child
Killed process 9134 (init) total-vm:1868kB, anon-rss:84kB, file-rss:572kB
Kill process 1 (init) sharing same memory
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009

That's because the busybox init will vfork a process then
oom_kill_process() finfs the init process instead of its children, because
their mm is the same when using vfork.

It looks like this has been forward-ported from an earlier version,
where the conditions were written as:

        if (A && B && ....)
                do_send_sig_info(...);

Since they are now written as 'if (!A) continue', the '!' needs to be
dropped from this one.

argh, crap, yes, thanks.  And I just injected this into linux-next.

Mark, could you please add this?

Already the first submission [1] I am aware of had it like this. I
should have noticed that. Slaps self. Sorry about that!

I'm not going to do a build today, sorry - Stephen will be back on
Monday so he should be able to integrate it if you send it to him.

+ oom-kill-init-lead-panic.patch added to -mm tree

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/oom_kill.c: avoid attempting to kill init sharing same memory
has been added to the -mm tree.  Its filename is

From: Chen Jie <chenjie6@huawei.com>
Subject: mm/oom_kill.c: avoid attempting to kill init sharing same memory

It's possible that an oom killed victim shares an ->mm with the init
process and thus oom_kill_process() would end up trying to kill init as
well.

This has been shown in practice:

	Out of memory: Kill process 9134 (init) score 3 or sacrifice child
	Killed process 9134 (init) total-vm:1868kB, anon-rss:84kB, file-rss:572kB
	Kill process 1 (init) sharing same memory
	...
	Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009

And this will result in a kernel panic.

If a process is forked by init and selected for oom kill while still
sharing init_mm, then it's likely this system is in a recoverable state. 
However, it's better not to try to kill init and allow the machine to
panic due to unkillable processes.
