5  *	Thanks go out to Claus Fischer for some serious inspiration and
6  *	for goading me into coding this file...
7  *
8  *  The routines in this file are used to kill a process when
9  *  we're seriously out of memory. This gets called from __alloc_pages()
10  *  in mm/page_alloc.c when we really run out of memory.
11  *
12  *  Since we won't call these routines often (on a well-configured
13  *  machine) this file will double as a 'coding guide' and a signpost
14  *  for newbie kernel hackers. It features several pointers to major
15  *  kernel subsystems and hints as to where to find out what things do.

38  * badness - calculate a numeric value for how bad this task has been
39  * @p: task struct of which task we should calculate
40  * @uptime: current uptime in seconds
41  *
42  * The formula used is relatively simple and documented inline in the
43  * function. The main rationale is that we want to select a good task
44  * to kill when we run out of memory.
45  *
46  * Good in this context means that:
47  * 1) we lose the minimum amount of work done
48  * 2) we recover a large amount of memory
49  * 3) we don't kill anything innocent of eating tons of memory
50  * 4) we want to kill the minimum amount of processes (one)
51  * 5) we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this
52  *    algorithm has been meticulously tuned to meet the principle
53  *    of least surprise ... (be careful when you change it)
