Re: _alloc_pages: allocation failed

[Ed Co <edityacomm_knb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi;

Is there any documentation on the out of memory killer
for the 2.4 and 2.6 kernel. My questions are:

1) can the task requesting memory itself be killed?

2) Is there any way to tell the OOM not to kill a
particular task?

Thanks
Ed
