mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj
oom_score_adj is shared for the thread groups (via struct signal) but this is not sufficient to cover processes sharing mm (CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND) and so we can easily end up in a situation when some processes update their oom_score_adj and confuse the oom killer. In the worst case some of those processes might hide from the oom killer altogether via OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN while others are eligible. OOM killer would then pick up those eligible but won't be allowed to kill others sharing the same mm so the mm wouldn't release the mm and so the memory. It would be ideal to have the oom_score_adj per mm_struct because that is the natural entity OOM killer considers. But this will not work because some programs are doing vfork() set_oom_adj() exec() We can achieve the same though. oom_score_adj write handler can set the oom_score_adj for all processes sharing the same mm if the task is not in the middle of vfork. As a result all the processes will share the same oom_score_adj. The current implementation is rather pessimistic and checks all the existing processes by default if there is more than 1 holder of the mm but we do not have any reliable way to check for external users yet.
