[PATCH 05/10] oom: enable oom tasklist dump by default

From: KOSAKI Motohiro
Date: Tue Jun 08 2010 - 07:58:35 EST


From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>

The oom killer tasklist dump, enabled with the oom_dump_tasks sysctl, is
very helpful information in diagnosing why a user's task has been killed.
It emits useful information such as each eligible thread's memory usage
that can determine why the system is oom, so it should be enabled by
default.
