1 /* drivers/misc/lowmemorykiller.c
3 * The lowmemorykiller driver lets user-space specify a set of memory thresholds
4 * where processes with a range of oom_score_adj values will get killed. Specify
5 * the minimum oom_score_adj values in
6 * /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj and the number of free pages in
7 * /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree. Both files take a comma
8 * separated list of numbers in ascending order.
10 * For example, write "0,8" to /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj and
11 * "1024,4096" to /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree to kill
12 * processes with a oom_score_adj value of 8 or higher when the free memory
13 * drops below 4096 pages and kill processes with a oom_score_adj value of 0 or
14 * higher when the free memory drops below 1024 pages.
16 * The driver considers memory used for caches to be free, but if a large
17 * percentage of the cached memory is locked this can be very inaccurate
18 * and processes may not get killed until the normal oom killer is triggered.
