lowmemorykiller.c revision 06a1074e1c789a777732f8c432d913b0fedb8ff5
1/* drivers/misc/lowmemorykiller.c 2 * 3 * The lowmemorykiller driver lets user-space specify a set of memory thresholds 4 * where processes with a range of oom_adj values will get killed. Specify the 5 * minimum oom_adj values in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj and the 6 * number of free pages in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree. Both 7 * files take a comma separated list of numbers in ascending order. 8 * 9 * For example, write "0,8" to /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj and 10 * "1024,4096" to /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree to kill processes 11 * with a oom_adj value of 8 or higher when the free memory drops below 4096 pages 12 * and kill processes with a oom_adj value of 0 or higher when the free memory 13 * drops below 1024 pages. 14 * 15 * The driver considers memory used for caches to be free, but if a large 16 * percentage of the cached memory is locked this can be very inaccurate 17 * and processes may not get killed until the normal oom killer is triggered. 18 * 19 * Copyright (C) 2007-2008 Google, Inc. 20 * 21 * This software is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public 22 * License version 2, as published by the Free Software Foundation, and 23 * may be copied, distributed, and modified under those terms. 24 * 25 * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 26 * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 27 * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
