[PATCH] lib: adjust oom_score

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This way the igt test will always be killed first (hopefully),
preventing mayhem when one of the memory thrashing tests treatens to
take down the entire system.

To avoid any burden on test writers we adjust the oom score on
drm_open, any of the fork helpers and subtest init. That should cover
everything.
