Can someone point me to his patch? I've been working on and off to try and get
reasonable OOM behaviour. As it stands, 2.6.10-rc2-mm4 still shows nasty
behaviour in OOM conditions, killing off more tasks than strictly required, and
locking up the system for 10-15secs while doing it.

I'd be much happier doing a quick and dirty scan and knocking off something
*now* rather than locking up the system. Surely it can't take 60 billion cycles
of cpu time to pick a task to kill.
