From de3f32e1424ca5c751d4cd78cbed6d17ca261c24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:31:25 -0700 Subject: doc, mm: sync up oom_score_adj documentation There are at least two notes in the oom section. The 3% discount for root processes is gone since d46078b28889 ("mm, oom: remove 3% bonus for CAP_SYS_ADMIN processes"). Likewise children of the selected oom victim are not sacrificed since bbbe48029720 ("mm, oom: remove 'prefer children over parent' heuristic") Drop both of them.
