4 | * Copyright (C) 1998,2000 Rik van Riel | |
5 | * Thanks go out to Claus Fischer for some serious inspiration and | |
6 | * for goading me into coding this file... | |
7 | * | |
8 | * The routines in this file are used to kill a process when | |
a49335cc PJ |
9 | * we're seriously out of memory. This gets called from __alloc_pages() |
10 | * in mm/page_alloc.c when we really run out of memory. | |
1da177e4 LT |
11 | * |
12 | * Since we won't call these routines often (on a well-configured | |
13 | * machine) this file will double as a 'coding guide' and a signpost | |
14 | * for newbie kernel hackers. It features several pointers to major | |
15 | * kernel subsystems and hints as to where to find out what things do. | |

6937a25c | 32 | * badness - calculate a numeric value for how bad this task has been |
1da177e4 | 33 | * @p: task struct of which task we should calculate |
a49335cc | 34 | * @uptime: current uptime in seconds |
1da177e4 LT |
35 | * |
36 | * The formula used is relatively simple and documented inline in the | |
37 | * function. The main rationale is that we want to select a good task | |
38 | * to kill when we run out of memory. | |
39 | * | |
40 | * Good in this context means that: | |
41 | * 1) we lose the minimum amount of work done | |
42 | * 2) we recover a large amount of memory | |
43 | * 3) we don't kill anything innocent of eating tons of memory | |
44 | * 4) we want to kill the minimum amount of processes (one) | |
45 | * 5) we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this | |
46 | * algorithm has been meticulously tuned to meet the principle | |
47 | * of least surprise ... (be careful when you change it) | |
