[patch 00/10 -mm v3] oom killer rewrite

[David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>]

This patchset is a rewrite of the out of memory killer to address several
issues that have been raised recently.  The most notable change is a
complete rewrite of the badness heuristic that determines which task is
killed; the goal was to make it as simple and predictable as possible
while still addressing issues that plague the VM.

Changes from version 2:

 - updated to mmotm-2010-03-09-19-15

 - schedule a timeout for current if it was not selected for oom kill
   when it has returned VM_FAULT_OOM so memory can freed to prevent
   needlessly recalling the oom killer and looping.

To apply, download the -mm tree from
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out.tar.gz first.

This patchset is also available for each kernel release from:

including broken out patches.
