Subject: [PATCH] oom-killer disable for iscsi/lvm2/multipath userland critical sections
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=79befd0c08c4766f8fa27e37ac2a70e40840a56a;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

[PATCH] oom-killer disable for iscsi/lvm2/multipath userland critical sections

iscsi/lvm2/multipath needs guaranteed protection from the oom-killer, so
make the magical value of -17 in /proc/<pid>/oom_adj defeat the oom-killer
altogether.

(akpm: we still need to document oom_adj and friends in
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt!)
