At the point you hit OOM every possible heuristic is simply handwaving that will work for a subset of the user base. Fix the real problem and it goes away. My box doesn't OOM, the worst case (which I've never seen happen) is a task being killed by a stack growth failing to get memory. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
