From b1aa7c9377bdff904efa0fbde1f96e1769730d8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:31:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] doc, mm: clarify /proc//oom_score value range The exported value includes oom_score_adj so the range is no [0, 1000] as described in the previous section but rather [0, 2000]. Mention that fact explicitly.
