We already do that:
if (adj == OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN ||
test_bit(MMF_OOM_REAPED, &p->mm->flags) ||
in_vfork(p)) {
task_unlock(p);
return 0;
}
It is kind of subtle that we have to check it 2 times but we would have
to rework this code much more because oom_badness only can tell to
ignore the task but not to abort scanning altogether currently. If we
should change this I would suggest a separate patch.
