Subject: [PATCH 2/3] [PATCH powerpc] during VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group
Date: Tue, 05 Jun 2007 12:48:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070605174838.21740.55720.stgit@farscape.rchland.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070605174831.21740.33119.stgit@farscape.rchland.ibm.com>


When we get into a state where VM has ran out of memory, and it's time to
thwack a process, we should take out the entire process group, rather than
just one thread.

Tested on POWER5.
