Hello folks...
After another complain on #kernelnewbies about the OOM killer doing
strange thingss, by killing small processes when its really not needed,
and not doing anything when its really OOM i ran out of nerves and came out
with an idea, which i believe already settled down is some brains.
I speak about providing in /proc list of process badnesses, possibly with
some additional info...
Its just a shame to have a stable kernel randomly killing processes even when
its not needed...

(this message was planned as answer to Linus request for any kind of VM bitchig....)

regards, Samium Gromoff
