This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to
make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.
The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task
is currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of
"allowable" memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide
resources for unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes,
the mems attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit.
The proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always
kill), roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that
the task consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM
or in swap space.
The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets
may operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of
the machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set
of nodes or mems, respectively.
Forkbomb detection is done in a completely different way: a threshold is
configurable from userspace to determine how many first-generation execve
children (those with their own address spaces) a task may have before it
is considered a forkbomb. This can be tuned by altering the value in
/proc/sys/vm/oom_forkbomb_thres, which defaults to 1000.
When a task has more than 1000 first-generation children with different
address spaces than itself, a penalty of
(average rss of children) * (# of 1st generation execve children)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
oom_forkbomb_thres
is assessed. So, for example, using the default oom_forkbomb_thres of
1000, the penalty is twice the average rss of all its execve children if
there are 2000 such tasks. A task is considered to count toward the
threshold if its total runtime is less than one second; for 1000 of such
tasks to exist, the parent process must be forking at an extremely high
rate either erroneously or maliciously.
Even though a particular task may be designated a forkbomb and selected
as the victim, the oom killer will still kill the 1st generation execve
child with the highest badness() score in its place. The avoids killing
important servers or system daemons. When a web server forks a very
large number of threads for client connections, for example, it is much
better to kill one of those threads than to kill the server and make it
unresponsive.
Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
memory, it is generally better to save root's task.
Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not
possible to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale
since the ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a
new tunable, /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to
+1000. It may be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks
are never considered for oom kill while others may always be considered.
The value is added directory into the badness() score so a value of -500,
for example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in
comparison to other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy,
in the cpuset, or sharing the same memory controller.
/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of
these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required
so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj
to be deprecated for future removal.

-3.1 /proc/<pid>/oom_adj - Adjust the oom-killer score
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-This file can be used to adjust the score used to select which processes
-should be killed in an out-of-memory situation. Giving it a high score will
-increase the likelihood of this process being killed by the oom-killer. Valid
-values are in the range -16 to +15, plus the special value -17, which disables
-oom-killing altogether for this process.
-
-The process to be killed in an out-of-memory situation is selected among all others
-based on its badness score. This value equals the original memory size of the process
-and is then updated according to its CPU time (utime + stime) and the
-run time (uptime - start time). The longer it runs the smaller is the score.
-Badness score is divided by the square root of the CPU time and then by
-the double square root of the run time.
-
-Swapped out tasks are killed first. Half of each child's memory size is added to
-the parent's score if they do not share the same memory. Thus forking servers
-are the prime candidates to be killed. Having only one 'hungry' child will make
-parent less preferable than the child.
-
-/proc/<pid>/oom_score shows process' current badness score.
-
-The following heuristics are then applied:
- * if the task was reniced, its score doubles
- * superuser or direct hardware access tasks (CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
- or CAP_SYS_RAWIO) have their score divided by 4
- * if oom condition happened in one cpuset and checked process does not belong
- to it, its score is divided by 8
- * the resulting score is multiplied by two to the power of oom_adj, i.e.
- points <<= oom_adj when it is positive and
- points >>= -(oom_adj) otherwise
-
-The task with the highest badness score is then selected and its children
-are killed, process itself will be killed in an OOM situation when it does
-not have children or some of them disabled oom like described above.
+3.1 /proc/<pid>/oom_adj & /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj- Adjust the oom-killer score
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+These file can be used to adjust the badness heuristic used to select which
+process gets killed in out of memory conditions.
+
+The badness heuristic assigns a value to each candidate task ranging from 0
+(never kill) to 1000 (always kill) to determine which process is targeted. The
+units are roughly a proportion along that range of allowed memory the process
+may allocate from based on an estimation of its current memory and swap use.
+For example, if a task is using all allowed memory, its badness score will be
+1000. If it is using half of its allowed memory, its score will be 500.
+
+There are a couple of additional factors included in the badness score: root
+processes are given 3% extra memory over other tasks, and tasks which forkbomb
+an excessive number of child processes are penalized by their average size.
+The number of child processes considered to be a forkbomb is configurable
+via /proc/sys/vm/oom_forkbomb_thres (see Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt).
+
+The amount of "allowed" memory depends on the context in which the oom killer
+was called. If it is due to the memory assigned to the allocating task's cpuset
+being exhausted, the allowed memory represents the set of mems assigned to that
+cpuset. If it is due to a mempolicy's node(s) being exhausted, the allowed
+memory represents the set of mempolicy nodes. If it is due to a memory
+limit (or swap limit) being reached, the allowed memory is that configured
+limit. Finally, if it is due to the entire system being out of memory, the
+allowed memory represents all allocatable resources.
+
+The value of /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj is added to the badness score before it
+is used to determine which task to kill. Acceptable values range from -1000
+(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN) to +1000 (OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX). This allows userspace to
+polarize the preference for oom killing either by always preferring a certain
+task or completely disabling it. The lowest possible value, -1000, is
+equivalent to disabling oom killing entirely for that task since it will always
+report a badness score of 0.
+
+Consequently, it is very simple for userspace to define the amount of memory to
+consider for each task. Setting a /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj value of +500, for
+example, is roughly equivalent to allowing the remainder of tasks sharing the
+same system, cpuset, mempolicy, or memory controller resources to use at least
+50% more memory. A value of -500, on the other hand, would be roughly
+equivalent to discounting 50% of the task's allowed memory from being considered
+as scoring against the task.
+
+For backwards compatibility with previous kernels, /proc/<pid>/oom_adj may also
+be used to tune the badness score. Its acceptable values range from -16
+(OOM_ADJUST_MIN) to +15 (OOM_ADJUST_MAX) and a special value of -17
+(OOM_DISABLE) to disable oom killing entirely for that task. Its value is
+scaled linearly with /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj.
+
+Writing to /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj or /proc/<pid>/oom_adj will change the
+other with its scaled value.
+
+Caveat: when a parent task is selected, the oom killer will sacrifice any first
+generation children with seperate address spaces instead, if possible. This
+avoids servers and important system daemons from being killed and loses the
+minimal amount of work.
