I know it is deprecated, but your change, staging: android, lowmemorykiller: convert to use oom_score_adj, broke existing user-space code that still write to /proc/pid/oom_adj. This option lets you build a kernel that supports our user-space code until that user-space has been converted to use /proc/pid/oom_score_adj. -- Arve Hjønnevåg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
