This is not true, because I don't want a low fd to be notified on critical level. The current interface just can't do that. However, it *is* possible to make non-strict work on strict if we make strict default _and_ make reads on memory.pressure_level return available events. Just do this on app initialization: for each event in memory.pressure_level; do /* register eventfd to be notified on "event" */ done Then eventfd will always be notified, no matter the event. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
