OK, I hope Michal can answer my question if you do not want to
do this ;) So far I think this patch is not right.
If a task B is already frozen, it sleeps in D state.
If OOM selects B as a victim after that, it won't be woken by
SIGKILL, thus it obviously can't call should_thaw_current() and
notice TIF_MEMDIE.
Btw, I also do not understand the cgroup_freezing() check in
should_thaw_current(), but this is another story.
Oleg.
