What a rough workaround. sysctl_oom_kill_allocating_task == 1 does not always mean we must skip OOM reaper, for OOM-unkillable callers take sysctl_oom_kill_allocating_task == 0 path. I've just posted a patchset which allows you to merge the OOM reaper without correcting problems found in "[PATCH 3/5] oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to unmap the address space" and "[PATCH 5/5] mm, oom_reaper: implement OOM victims queuing".
