Roman Gushchin 5989ad7b5e mm, oom: refactor oom_kill_process()
Patch series "introduce memory.oom.group", v2.

This is a tiny implementation of cgroup-aware OOM killer, which adds an
ability to kill a cgroup as a single unit and so guarantee the integrity
of the workload.

Although it has only a limited functionality in comparison to what now
resides in the mm tree (it doesn't change the victim task selection
algorithm, doesn't look at memory stas on cgroup level, etc), it's also
much simpler and more straightforward.  So, hopefully, we can avoid having
long debates here, as we had with the full implementation.

As it doesn't prevent any futher development, and implements an useful and
complete feature, it looks as a sane way forward.

This patch (of 2):

oom_kill_process() consists of two logical parts: the first one is
responsible for considering task's children as a potential victim and
printing the debug information.  The second half is responsible for
sending SIGKILL to all tasks sharing the mm struct with the given victim.

This commit splits oom_kill_process() with an intention to re-use the the
second half: __oom_kill_process().

The cgroup-aware OOM killer will kill multiple tasks belonging to the
victim cgroup.  We don't need to print the debug information for the each
task, as well as play with task selection (considering task's children),
so we can't use the existing oom_kill_process().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
