Not exactly.
if (we run oom) {
if (we find a malloc() eater) {
kill it;
} else if (there's an ->user<- who forked lots of processes) {
kill some;
} else {
kill randomly, based on some table, or whatever...;
}
}
Means we only kill processes if (task->euid) in the second stage. Malloc
eaters are likely to be system jobs (such as data servers), so we better
don't check the UID then.
