@ted, you're not wrong, the default kernel OOM killer isn't ideal for
us. But writing a new one is a lot of work, especially as we have
several different kernel releases to deal with.
What would be less ideal, but most likely good enough to fix most user-
visible bugs in the short term, is to allow shell (which is aware of the
connection between apps and prompt providers) to set OOM scores itself.
Shell can then use that to influence the kernel to not kill the app the
user is most likely going to return to. It would also help prevent
recently-used apps from being killed before older ones.
To achieve that will require changes to UAL, so I'm reopening.
