I already suggested an alternative patch to CAI Qian to greatly increase
the granularity of the oom score from a range of 0-1000 to 0-10000 to
differentiate between tasks within 0.01% of available memory (16MB on CAI
Qian's 16GB system). I'll propose this officially in a separate email.


This is an alternative patch as earlier proposed with suggested
improvements from Minchan. CAI, would it be possible to test this out on
your usecase?

I'm indifferent to the actual scale of OOM_SCORE_MAX_FACTOR; it could be
10 as proposed in this patch or even increased higher for higher
resolution.

I did explain why your proposal is unacceptable.
