Hi, Currently the OOM-killer reports the process PID and name it killed. This can be useful information to determine which process was responsible for the OOM-situation, however the logging is not very informative if the process is an interpreter used for various tasks. I figured it'd be useful to also print the cmdline for the killed process. I took a first stab and would be interested to hear what you think: http://bzzt.net/~arnouten/oom_informative.patch Some questions: * I took the code for getting the cmdline-string from fs/proc/base.c. Of course it'd be neater not to copy-paste this code. Should it be moved to a place where both fs/proc and mm can 'see' it? What would be a suitable place? * What about the buffer size for the oom_pid_cmdline()-function? Is there a known upper bound for the length of a commandline? * Anything else?
