Not exactly.
if (we run oom) { if (we find a malloc() eater) { kill it; } else if (there's an ->user<- who forked lots of processes) { kill some; } else { kill randomly, based on some table, or whatever...; } }
Means we only kill processes if (task->euid) in the second stage. Malloc eaters are likely to be system jobs (such as data servers), so we better don't check the UID then.
