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.

63 * Good in this context means that:

65 * 2) we recover a large amount of memory
66 * 3) we don't kill anything innocent of eating tons of memory
67 * 4) we want to kill the minimum amount of processes (one)
68 * 5) we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this
69 * algorithm has been meticulously tuned to meet the principle
