So who is setting that? I've got plenty of occurrences where xfs_db
does get killed running from the test suite. e.g. from test 019:

It's not me or the test suite that setting this, so it's something
the kernel must be doing automagically.

Like I said: I'm not changing a thing, nor is the test suite - test
017 results in xfs_db being unkillable, test 019 does not. They are
executed in test suite environment from the
same parent process. But somehow test 017 results in an unkillable
xfs_db process, and test 019 does not. Nothing is touching
oom_score_adj at all, so it should have a zero value. Why doesn't
it?

Indeed, why do the sshd processes have non-default oom_score_adj
in the test 017 case and not for test 019? They shouldn't be any
different, either, but they are. Why?

Cheers,

Dave.
