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
Paul Jacksona49335c2005-09-06 15:18:09 -07009 * 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.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070011 *
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.

Dave Peterson6937a252006-06-23 02:03:13 -070029 * badness - calculate a numeric value for how bad this task has been
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070030 * @p: task struct of which task we should calculate
Paul Jacksona49335c2005-09-06 15:18:09 -070031 * @uptime: current uptime in seconds
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070032 *
33 * The formula used is relatively simple and documented inline in the
34 * function. The main rationale is that we want to select a good task
35 * to kill when we run out of memory.
36 *
37 * Good in this context means that:
38 * 1) we lose the minimum amount of work done
39 * 2) we recover a large amount of memory
40 * 3) we don't kill anything innocent of eating tons of memory
41 * 4) we want to kill the minimum amount of processes (one)
42 * 5) we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this
43 * algorithm has been meticulously tuned to meet the principle
44 * of least surprise ... (be careful when you change it)
