If g has 1024 p, dump_tasks() will do pr_info("[%5d] %5d %5d %8lu %8lu %7ld %7ld %8lu %5hd %s\n", for 1024 times? I think one SysRq-f per one process is sufficient. How can we guarantee that find_lock_task_mm() from oom_kill_process() chooses !TIF_MEMDIE thread when try_to_sacrifice_child() somehow chose !TIF_MEMDIE thread? I think choosing !TIF_MEMDIE thread at find_lock_task_mm() is the simplest way. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
