Subject: [Question] how to detect mm leaker and kill?

Hi

In the scenario that 2GB  physical RAM is available, and there is a
database application that eats 1.4GB RAM without leakage already
running, another leaker who leaks 4KB an hour is also running, could
the leaker be detected and killed in mm/oom_kill.c with default
configure when oom happens?

thanks
          Hillf
