Specify the -minimum oom_adj values in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj and the -number of free pages in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree. Both -files take a comma separated list of numbers in ascending order. - -For example, write "0,8" to /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj and -"1024,4096" to /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree to kill processes -with a oom_adj value of 8 or higher when the free memory drops below 4096 pages -and kill processes with a oom_adj value of 0 or higher when the free memory -drops below 1024 pages. - -The driver considers memory used for caches to be free, but if a large -percentage of the cached memory is locked this can be very inaccurate -and processes may not get killed until the normal oom killer is triggered. - |
