Tetsuo, sorry, I don't understand your question...

Yes, sure, it is not right too. Again, this is even documented in d003f371b27016354c:
fatal_signal_pending() can be true because of SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP so out_of_memory() and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() shouldn't blindly trust it.
This is off-topic in a sense that this series only tries to ensure that if we are going to kill a memory hog we can't miss a process which shares the same mm (ignoring the OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN condition below).

yes, and since fatal_signal_pending() == T we do not even check task_will_free_mem().

I do not see how this depends on "not in the same thread group". This fatal_signal_pending() doesn't look right in any case.

Oh. This is another issue. I already tried to suggest to remove this check. But this needs more discussion, hopefully we can do this later.
Oleg.
