+ *  Copyright (C)  1998,2000  Rik van Riel
+ *	Thanks go out to Claus Fischer for some serious inspiration and
+ *	for goading me into coding this file...
+ *
+ *  The routines in this file are used to kill a process when
+ *  we're seriously out of memory. This gets called from kswapd()
+ *  in linux/mm/vmscan.c when we really run out of memory.
+ *
+ *  Since we won't call these routines often (on a well-configured
+ *  machine) this file will double as a 'coding guide' and a signpost
+ *  for newbie kernel hackers. It features several pointers to major
+ *  kernel subsystems and hints as to where to find out what things do.

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