For an OOM event: print oom_score_adj value for the OOM Killed process to document what the oom score adjust value was at the time the process was OOM Killed. The adjustment value can be set by user code and it affects the resulting oom_score so it is used to influence kill process selection. When eligible tasks are not printed (sysctl oom_dump_tasks = 0) printing this value is the only documentation of the value for the process being killed. Having this value on the Killed process message is useful to document if a miscconfiguration occurred or to confirm that the oom_score_adj configuration applies as expected. An example which illustates both misconfiguration and validation that the oom_score_adj was applied as expected is: Aug 14 23:00:02 testserver kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 2692 (systemd-udevd) total-vm:1056800kB, anon-rss:1052760kB, file-rss:4kB, shmem-rss:0kB pgtables:22kB oom_score_adj:1000 The systemd-udevd is a critical system application that should have an oom_score_adj of -1000. It was miconfigured to have a adjustment of 1000 making it a highly favored OOM kill target process. The output documents both the misconfiguration and the fact that the process was correctly targeted by OOM due to the miconfiguration. This can be quite helpful for triage and problem determination. The addition of the pgtables_bytes shows page table usage by the process and is a useful measure of the memory size of the process.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
