This can result in killing more OOM victims than needed. We can wait for the OOM reaper to reap memory used by existing TIF_MEMDIE threads if possible. If the OOM reaper is not available, the system will be kept OOM stalled until an OOM-unkillable thread does a GFP_FS allocation request and calls oom_kill_allocating_task == 0 path. This patch changes oom_kill_allocating_task == 1 case to call select_bad_process() in order to wait for existing TIF_MEMDIE threads. Since "mm,oom: exclude TIF_MEMDIE processes from candidates.", "mm,oom: don't abort on exiting processes when selecting a victim.", "mm,oom: exclude oom_task_origin processes if they are OOM victims.", "mm,oom: exclude oom_task_origin processes if they are OOM-unkillable." and "mm,oom: Re-enable OOM killer using timers." made sure that we never wait for TIF_MEMDIE threads forever, waiting for TIF_MEMDIE threads for oom_kill_allocating_task == 1 does not cause OOM livelock problem. After this patch, we can safely merge the OOM reaper in the simplest form, without worrying about corner cases.
