I didn't ever say that low memory killer makes any notifications, that's not what I was saying. I said that once we'll have a good "low memory" notification mechanism (e.g. vmevent), Android low memory killer would just use this mechanism. Be it userland notifications or in-kernel, doesn't matter much. -- Anton Vorontsov Email: cbouatmailru@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
