Here is the OOM trace header :
Out of memory: Kill process 5374 (min_free_kbytes) score 944 or sacrifice child
Killed process 5374 (min_free_kbytes) total-vm:30495360kB,anon-rss:20155328kB, file-rss:64kB
min_free_kbytes invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x200da, order=0, oom_score_adj=0
min_free_kbytes cpuset=/ mems_allowed=0
------------------
I understand that in this case free pages has gone below min_pages(1).
Couple of questions based on these 4 lines :
(1) I googled a lot but I am not able to find the meaning of 'score
994' , anon-rss and file-rss ?
(2) In my understanding gfp_mask is relevant here to know from which
Zone the memory allocation was tried , but failed - right ?
(3) What do order and oom_score_adj signify here ?
