SubjectRe: [PATCH] fix spurious OOM kills
Hi,
I just tested 2.6.7 and it works comparably to 2.4.28.
swpd value reported by vmstat is actually 1172736,
actually inspecting the previous results from 2.4.28
show also this number. But "swapon -s" reports 1172732.
I'm puzzled. vmstat comes from gentoo procps-3.2.3-r1.


Anyway, plain 2.6.7 kills only the application asking for
so much memory and logs via syslog:
Out of Memory: Killed process 58888 (RNAsubopt)

It's a lot better compared to what we have in 2.6.10-rc2,
from my user's view.

I cannot easily reverse the tbtc patch from 2.6.10-rc2 tree,
but applying the tbtc patch over 2.6.7 gives me same behaviour
as on plain 2.6.7 - so only the RNAsubopt application get's
killed.

The problem must have been introduced between 2.6.7
and 2.6.10-rc2 but is not directly related to tbtc patch in it's
original form:

Hope this helps.
