Considering that the kernel OOM killer tends to be way too late in doing its thing I don't see how this is inelegant, maybe there's a reason you can't just have the kernel kill processes earlier in the face of memory pressure.

It's hard not to get defensive because this reddit post is basically flamebait:
>use of words like sapping and deadend
>"there's little to no payoff for the rest of humanity"
Like you said we can probably discuss this question without getting defensive but it's impossible thanks to the way it's worded.
I'm interested in what Torvalds meant by these odd header files, does anyone know?
