For oom_score_adj values in the range [942,999], the current calculations will print 16 for oom_adj. This patch simply limits the output so output is inline with docs. v2: moved the change to after put task to make sure the task is released asap Signed-off-by: Charles Haithcock <chaithco@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/proc/base.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/proc/base.c b/fs/proc/base.c index 617db4e0faa0..eafabeaf21d1 100644 --- a/fs/proc/base.c +++ b/fs/proc/base.c @@ -1049,6 +1049,8 @@ static ssize_t oom_adj_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, size_t count, oom_adj = (task->signal->oom_score_adj * -OOM_DISABLE) / OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX; put_task_struct(task); + if (oom_adj > OOM_ADJUST_MAX) + oom_adj = OOM_ADJUST_MAX; len = snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%d\n", oom_adj); return simple_read_from_buffer(buf, count, ppos, buffer, len); } -- 2.25.1
