Some users (hi Zwane) have seen a problem when running a workload that eats nearly all of physical memory - th system does an OOM kill, even when there is still a lot of swap free. The problem appears to be a very big task that is holding the swap token, and the VM has a very hard time finding any other page in the system that is swappable. Instead of ignoring the swap token when sc->priority reaches 0, we could simply take the swap token away from the memory hog and make sure we don't give it back to the memory hog for a few seconds. This patch resolves the problem Zwane ran into. Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
