So attached is updated serie of patch with fixes for swaping issue that also impacted memory accounting.
Jerome, Out of interest, what was the swapping issue?
/Thomas
The page list was NULL and some access ended up freaking the kernel and oom kicked in for some reason i still don't understand. Bottom line things were going south in a split second leaving me with no log or access, i thought it was accounting not working as it was what i tested at the time. I should have tested accouting without the patchset
Cheers, Jerome
Still, I think you have a point in the fact that *when* finally the OOM killer kicks in, it probably doesn't have a way to associate user-space created bos with processes and kill the right process.
