| |
Hello,
If I remember correctly kernel developers promised not to break user APIs in the Linux kernel however in Linux 3.7 a /proc/<PID>/oom_adj file has been totally removed which makes KDE 3.5.x (and I suppose TDE) unusable as they depend on this file and simply refuse to start in its absence.
Also, udev in CentOS/RHEL/Scientific and other old Linux'es depend on this file (which is not critical but not pleasant anyway).
I'm not a hacker/programmer to edit and recompile udev/KDE/TDE sources so I'd be glad if this file was restored.
If the interface behind this file was totally removed and there's no way you can bring it back, can I politely ask to export a dummy oom_adj file which allows the same mode of access yet the kernel does nothing in return.
-- Thank you,
Artem
