but today i catch log from my desktop. oom-killer have kill my "minicom"
and "Xorg". so i think it should add protection about it.


Off topic.

In this log, I found

Jan  4 15:22:55 figo-desktop kernel: Free swap  = -1636kB
Jan  4 15:22:55 figo-desktop kernel: Total swap = 0kB
Jan  4 15:22:55 figo-desktop kernel: 515070 pages RAM

... This means total_swap_pages = 0 while pages are read-in at swapoff.

Let's see 'points' for oom
==
points = (get_mm_rss(p->mm) + get_mm_counter(p->mm, MM_SWAPENTS)) * 1000 /
                         totalpages;
==

Here, totalpages = total_ram + total_swap but totalswap is 0 here.

So, points can be>  1000, easily.
(This seems not to be related to the Xorg's death itself)

total_swap is 0, so
totalpages = total_ram,
get_mm_counter(p->mm, MM_SWAPENTS) = 0,

so
points = (get_mm_rss(p->mm)) * 1000 / totalpages;

so points canot larger than 1000.







Thanks,
