The oom_adj has been replaced by oom_score_adj in kernel, but the /proc/pid/oom_adj is provided for legacy purposes. When write/read a value into/from /proc/pid/oom_adj, there is a transformation between oom_adj and oom_score_adj.
After writing a new value into /proc/pid/oom_adj, then read it. The return value is a different value than you wrote. Fix this by adding a adjustment factor.
