[PATCH]oom-kill: direct hardware access processes should get bonus

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

 



the victim should not directly access hardware devices like Xorg server,
because the hardware could be left in an unpredictable state, although 
user-application can set /proc/pid/oom_score_adj to protect it. so i think
those processes should get 3% bonus for protection.
