These values are all written by the same process. If you want to improve this, the lowmemorykiller will need a separate score_adj parameter so that it knows for sure which type of value it receives. You changed the meaning of /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj. This patch restores the old behavior as long as the values you write are within the range oom_adj, while still supporting the new behavior you added in the likely case that one of the values are out of range for oom_adj. -- Arve Hjønnevåg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
