Anyone can CC me on a patch to make sure its gets through.
Anyways, we've had this patch in our OpenSuSE version for a
while.
Applied but with a change.
+ /* Newer kernels (noticed in 2.6.36) */
+ oomfd = open("/proc/self/oom_score_adj", O_NOFOLLOW | O_WRONLY);
+ if (oomfd >= 0) {
+ (void)write(oomfd, "0", 1);
This needs to be -1000 to have the same behavior as before.
