Android Low Memory Killer

[rajainnov]

Can some one share a test application to test Android Low Memory Killer

The test code pated below is not providing the desired functionality.

(1) It is not killed at the designated watermark levels. When the free memory in the system is 5632*4*1024 = 22.4 MB

it is killed only when the system memory reaches as low as min_free_kbytes.

system("echo 1536,2048,4096,5120,5632,6144 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree");

sprintf(cmdStr, "echo 13 > /proc/%d/oom_adj", my_pid);


while(i++ < 240) //240 MB Memory
{
size = 256*1024*sizeof(int); //1MB
ptr[i] = (int *)malloc(size);

int *write=ptr[i];
if(ptr[i]!=NULL)
{
size = size/sizeof(int);
//printf("Success in malloc");
while(size--)
*write++=size;
system("/usr/bin/free");
}
else
{
printf("malloc error %d ",ptr[i]);
}
}

Try the Android developers' website/forums for help with this? Yes, Android is a MOSTLY Linux system, but there are a lot of caveats to that statement.
