From a7f638f999ff42310e9582273b1fe25ea6e469ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 15:06:47 -0700 Subject: mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only for userspace The oom_score_adj scale ranges from -1000 to 1000 and represents the proportion of memory available to the process at allocation time. This means an oom_score_adj value of 300, for example, will bias a process as though it was using an extra 30.0% of available memory and a value of -350 will discount 35.0% of available memory from its usage. The oom killer badness heuristic also uses this scale to report the oom score for each eligible process in determining the "best" process to kill. Thus, it can only differentiate each process's memory usage by 0.1% of system RAM. On large systems, this can end up being a large amount of memory: 256MB on 256GB systems, for example. This can be fixed by having the badness heuristic to use the actual memory usage in scoring threads and then normalizing it to the oom_score_adj scale for userspace. This results in better comparison between eligible threads for kill and no change from the userspace perspective.
