    [PATCH] oom: handle oom_disable exiting · 4a3ede10

    Having the oomkilladj == OOM_DISABLE check before the releasing check means
    that oomkilladj == OOM_DISABLE tasks exiting will not stop the OOM killer.
    
    Moving the test down will give the desired behaviour.  Also: it will allow
    them to "OOM-kill" themselves if they are exiting.  As per the previous patch,
    this is required to prevent OOM killer deadlocks (and they don't actually get
    killed, because they're already exiting -- they're simply allowed access to
    memory reserves).
