SubjectRe: [PATCH] mm/oom_kill.c: don't kill TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks

Ok.

Subject: Allow multiple kills from the OOM killer

The OOM killer currently aborts if it finds a process that already is having
access to the reserve memory pool for exit processing. This is done so that
the reserves are not overcommitted but on the other hand this also allows
only one process being oom killed at the time. That process may be stuck
in D state.
