Recent 2.2.x:
if (error_code & 4)
{
if (tsk->oom_kill_try++ > 10 ||
!((regs->eflags >> 12) & 3))
{
printk("VM: killing process %s\n", tsk->comm);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
do_exit(SIGKILL);
}
else
{
/*
* The task is running with privilegies and so we
* trust it and we give it a chance to die gracefully.
*/
printk("VM: terminating process %s\n", tsk->comm);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
force_sig(SIGTERM, current);
if (tsk->oom_kill_try > 1)
{
tsk->policy |= SCHED_YIELD;
schedule();
}
return;
}
}
Older 2.2.x:
void oom(struct task_struct * task)
{
printk("\nOut of memory for %s.\n", task->comm);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
force_sig(SIGKILL, task);
}
In short if he doesn't get any message from the kernel (and the machine doesn't
soft-lockup :) it's not an oom issue.
