In a system under heavy load it was observed that even after the oom-killer selects a task to die, the task may take a long time to die. Right after sending a SIGKILL to the task selected by the oom-killer this task has its priority increased so that it can exit() soon, freeing memory. That is accomplished by: /* * We give our sacrificial lamb high priority and access to * all the memory it needs. That way it should be able to * exit() and clear out its resources quickly... */ p->rt.time_slice = HZ; set_tsk_thread_flag(p, TIF_MEMDIE); It sounds plausible giving the dying task an even higher priority to be sure it will be scheduled sooner and free the desired memory. It was suggested on LKML using SCHED_FIFO:1, the lowest RT priority so that this task won't interfere with any running RT task. If the dying task is already an RT task, leave it untouched. Another good suggestion, implemented here, was to avoid boosting the dying task priority in case of mem_cgroup OOM. Signed-off-by: Luis Claudio R.
