Nick Piggin 7887a3da75 [PATCH] oom: cpuset hint
cpuset_excl_nodes_overlap does not always indicate that killing a task will
not free any memory we for us.  For example, we may be asking for an
allocation from _anywhere_ in the machine, or the task in question may be
pinning memory that is outside its cpuset.  Fix this by just causing
cpuset_excl_nodes_overlap to reduce the badness rather than disallow it.

* Copyright (C) 1998,2000 Rik van Riel
* Thanks go out to Claus Fischer for some serious inspiration and
* for goading me into coding this file...
*
* The routines in this file are used to kill a process when
* we're seriously out of memory. This gets called from __alloc_pages()
* in mm/page_alloc.c when we really run out of memory.
*
* Since we won't call these routines often (on a well-configured
* machine) this file will double as a 'coding guide' and a signpost
* for newbie kernel hackers. It features several pointers to major
* kernel subsystems and hints as to where to find out what things do.

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