[PATCH] oom_adj/oom_score documentation
I was looking for the a way around an OOM-problem, and found a couple of undocumented new features for tuning the OOM-score of individual processes. Here's a small documentation patch for /proc/<pid>/oom_adj and /proc/<pid>/oom_score.

2.12 /proc/<pid>/oom_adj - Adjust the oom-killer score
|

------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This file can be used to adjust the score used to select which processes
|
||||||
|
should be killed in an out-of-memory situation. Giving it a high score will
|
||||||
|
increase the likelihood of this process being killed by the oom-killer. Valid
|
||||||
|
values are in the range -16 to +15, plus the special value -17, which disables
|
||||||
|
oom-killing altogether for this process.

This file can be used to check the current score used by the oom-killer is for

any given <pid>. Use it together with /proc/<pid>/oom_adj to tune which

process should be killed in an out-of-memory situation.
