Subject: Re: [PATCH] oom_kill: fix calculation of the cpu_time and the run_time

Hi KOSAKI-san

Thank you for quick reply and checking my patch.

No I haven't.

Of course, but I think that the oom-killer doesn't need high performance.
Do you think oom-killer needs it ?

> why do you need this change?

Nothing special,
but I write a tips about oom-killer now.

The comments and the source code don't match.
so I think how to write about badness point now.

Therefore, I only think the source code should conform to the comments.


Regards,
Naohiro Ooiwa.
