   5 *      Thanks go out to Claus Fischer for some serious inspiration and
   6 *      for goading me into coding this file...
   7 *
   8 *  The routines in this file are used to kill a process when
   9 *  we're seriously out of memory. This gets called from __alloc_pages()
  10 *  in mm/page_alloc.c when we really run out of memory.
  11 *
  12 *  Since we won't call these routines often (on a well-configured
  13 *  machine) this file will double as a 'coding guide' and a signpost
  14 *  for newbie kernel hackers. It features several pointers to major
  15 *  kernel subsystems and hints as to where to find out what things do.

  37/**
  38 * badness - calculate a numeric value for how bad this task has been
  39 * @p: task struct of which task we should calculate
  40 * @uptime: current uptime in seconds
  41 *
  42 * The formula used is relatively simple and documented inline in the
  43 * function. The main rationale is that we want to select a good task
  44 * to kill when we run out of memory.
  45 *
  46 * Good in this context means that:
  47 * 1) we lose the minimum amount of work done
  48 * 2) we recover a large amount of memory
  49 * 3) we don't kill anything innocent of eating tons of memory
  50 * 4) we want to kill the minimum amount of processes (one)
  51 * 5) we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this
  52 *    algorithm has been meticulously tuned to meet the principle
  53 *    of least surprise ... (be careful when you change it)
