lowmemorykiller分析

lowmemorykiller作为内核一个module，输入参数有如下：

/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj 0,100,200,300,900,906
/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/cost 32
/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/debug_level 1
/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree 18432,23040,27648,32256,55296,80640

adj文件包含oom_adj的阈值，minfree存放着对应的阈值，以page为单位。当对应的minfree值达到，则进程的oom_adj如果大于这个值将被杀掉。

ProcessList.java中定义的mOomAdj的值通过writeLmkd写入sysfs节点，和上面对应：

private final int[] mOomAdj = new int[] {
FOREGROUND_APP_ADJ, VISIBLE_APP_ADJ, PERCEPTIBLE_APP_ADJ,
BACKUP_APP_ADJ, CACHED_APP_MIN_ADJ, CACHED_APP_MAX_ADJ
};

// These are the low-end OOM level limits. This is appropriate for an
// HVGA or smaller phone with less than 512MB. Values are in KB.
private final int[] mOomMinFreeLow = new int[] {
12288, 18432, 24576,
36864, 43008, 49152
};
// These are the high-end OOM level limits. This is appropriate for a
// 1280x800 or larger screen with around 1GB RAM. Values are in KB.
private final int[] mOomMinFreeHigh = new int[] {
73728, 92160, 110592,
129024, 147456, 184320
};

在frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ProcessList.java中定义了，不同类型进程对应的adj值：

static final int CACHED_APP_MAX_ADJ = 906;
static final int CACHED_APP_MIN_ADJ = 900;

static final int SERVICE_B_ADJ = 800;

static final int PREVIOUS_APP_ADJ = 700;

static final int HOME_APP_ADJ = 600;

static final int SERVICE_ADJ = 500;

static final int HEAVY_WEIGHT_APP_ADJ = 400;

static final int BACKUP_APP_ADJ = 300;

static final int PERCEPTIBLE_APP_ADJ = 200;

static final int VISIBLE_APP_ADJ = 100;
static final int VISIBLE_APP_LAYER_MAX = PERCEPTIBLE_APP_ADJ - VISIBLE_APP_ADJ - 1;

static final int FOREGROUND_APP_ADJ = 0;

static final int PERSISTENT_SERVICE_ADJ = -700;

static final int PERSISTENT_PROC_ADJ = -800;

static final int SYSTEM_ADJ = -900;

static final int NATIVE_ADJ = -1000;

lowmem_init是整个模块的入口，主要注册一个shrinker，lowmem_shrinker。shrinker是内核内存回收机制。

static struct shrinker lowmem_shrinker = {
.scan_objects = lowmem_scan, 如果count_objects返回值不为0，则被调用。
.count_objects = lowmem_count, 返回缓存中可被释放的内存大小。
.seeks = DEFAULT_SEEKS * 16
};

lowmem_scan是shrinker的核心：

static unsigned long lowmem_scan(struct shrinker *s, struct shrink_control *sc)
{
struct task_struct *tsk;
struct task_struct *selected = NULL;
unsigned long rem = 0;
int tasksize;
int i;
short min_score_adj = OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX + 1;
int minfree =
