oom: allow a non-CAP_SYS_RESOURCE proces to oom_score_adj down
We'd like to be able to oom_score_adj a process up/down as it enters/leaves the foreground. Currently, it is not possible to oom_adj down without CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. This patch allows a task to decrease its oom_score_adj back to the value that a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread set it to or its inherited value at fork. Assuming the thread that has forked it has oom_score_adj of 0, each process could decrease it back from 0 upon activation unless a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread elevated it to something higher. Alternative considered: * a setuid binary * a daemon with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE Since you don't wan't all processes to be able to reduce their oom_adj, a setuid or daemon implementation would be complex. The alternatives also have much higher overhead. This patch updated from original patch based on feedback from David Rientjes.
