Query about Enhanced Out-Of-Memory handling
Hi, all
Since there is a practical needs for user application with the ability to sense kernel memory use pressure,
http://elinux.org/Memory_Management gives some approach on this as below:
OOM notification in cgroupsmem_notify patches
Google cgroup OOM handler
Nokia OOM enhancements
AFAIK, it seems none of these have been merged into mainline or updated continuously,
I'm not so familiar with mm system, so may I ask which known approach is best to work with mainline kernel now?

OOM by itself is for non-critical server, or hand-held devices where
physical memory is severely constrained. For server running database, or
any high end server, it is disastrous to have it turned on. Judge for
yourself the criticality of your applications and turn it on/off if needs to:

For the latest development, read this:

and the Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt and Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt
has some development on OOM as well
