because in oom_evaluate_task, the process with adj == OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN will
be suppressed by oom_badness, but with applying your latest patch,
such process will
be selected by oom_task_origin

        if (oom_task_origin(task)) {
                points = ULONG_MAX;
                goto select;
        }

        points = oom_badness(task, NULL, oc->nodemask, oc->totalpages);
        if (!points || points < oc->chosen_points)
                goto next;
