I like the direction you are taking. A couple notes:
- you may find it easier to declare an array of const char * for each
constraint:
static const char * const oom_constraint_text[] = {
[CONSTRAINT_NONE] = "CONSTRAINT_NONE",
[CONSTRAINT_CPUSET] = "CONSTRAINT_CPUSET",
[CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY] = "CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY",
[CONSTRAINT_MEMCG] = "CONSTRAINT_MEMCG",
};
- we need to eliminate all the usage of pr_cont() because otherwise we
can still get interleaving in the kernel log (the single line output
should always be a complete single line that can be parsed by
userspace).
- to generate a single line output, I think you need a call to a
function in mm/memcontrol.c when is_memcg_oom(oc) is true and
otherwise a function in mm/oom_kill.c when false.
