Our global init task can have sub-threads, so ->pid check is not reliable enough for is_global_init(), we need to check tgid instead. This has been spotted by Oleg and a fix was proposed by Richard a long time ago (see the link below). Oleg wrote: : Because is_global_init() is only true for the main thread of /sbin/init. : : Just look at oom_unkillable_task(). It tries to not kill init. But, say, : select_bad_process() can happily find a sub-thread of is_global_init() : and still kill it. I recently hit the problem in question; re-sending the patch (to the best of my knowledge it has never been submitted) with updated function comment. Credit goes to Oleg and Richard.
