4 * Copyright (C) 1998,2000 Rik van Riel
5 * Thanks go out to Claus Fischer for some serious inspiration and
6 * for goading me into coding this file...
8 * The routines in this file are used to kill a process when
9 * 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.
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.

38 * badness - calculate a numeric value for how bad this task has been
39 * @p: task struct of which task we should calculate
40 * @uptime: current uptime in seconds
42 * The formula used is relatively simple and documented inline in the
43 * function. The main rationale is that we want to select a good task
44 * to kill when we run out of memory.
46 * Good in this context means that:
47 * 1) we lose the minimum amount of work done
48 * 2) we recover a large amount of memory
49 * 3) we don't kill anything innocent of eating tons of memory
50 * 4) we want to kill the minimum amount of processes (one)
51 * 5) we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this
52 * algorithm has been meticulously tuned to meet the principle
53 * of least surprise ... (be careful when you change it)
