Previous change If154dc364711bf7c86f32e24ddcd10be359386de called "lmkd: Do not downgrade/ignore events when swap is full" added SwapTotal into meminfo structure without adding the field into events.logtag file. This results in logs which missing field and all fields starting with "SwapFree" get reordered as a result. Fix this by adding the missing field into events.logtag. Bug: 129274901 Test: Confirm correct information in the logcat Change-Id: Ia4de3790a7e9d49a0e4cba8b3161a715eaf6532e Signed-off-by: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com> |

Android Low Memory Killer Daemon
Introduction
Android Low Memory Killer Daemon (lmkd) is a process monitoring memory state of a running Android system and reacting to high memory pressure by killing the least essential process(es) to keep system performing at acceptable levels.
Background
Historically on Android systems memory monitoring and killing of non-essential processes was handled by a kernel lowmemorykiller driver. Since Linux Kernel 4.12 the lowmemorykiller driver has been removed and instead userspace lmkd daemon performs these tasks.
Android Properties
lmkd can be configured on a particular system using the following Android properties:
ro.config.low_ram: choose between low-memory vs high-performance device. Default = false.
ro.lmk.use_minfree_levels: use free memory and file cache thresholds for making decisions when to kill. This mode works the same way kernel lowmemorykiller driver used to work. Default = false
ro.lmk.low: min oom_adj score for processes eligible to be killed at low vmpressure level. Default = 1001 (disabled)
ro.lmk.medium: min oom_adj score for processes eligible to be killed at medium vmpressure level. Default = 800 (non-essential processes)
ro.lmk.critical: min oom_adj score for processes eligible to be killed at critical vmpressure level. Default = 0 (all processes)
ro.lmk.critical_upgrade: enables upgrade to critical level. Default = false
ro.lmk.upgrade_pressure: max mem_pressure at which level will be upgraded because system is swapping too much. Default = 100 (disabled)
ro.lmk.downgrade_pressure: min mem_pressure at which vmpressure event will be ignored because enough free memory is still available. Default = 100 (disabled)
ro.lmk.kill_heaviest_task: kill heaviest eligible task (best decision) vs. any eligible task (fast decision). Default = false
ro.lmk.kill_timeout_ms: duration in ms after a kill when no additional kill will be done, Default = 0 (disabled)
ro.lmk.debug: enable lmkd debug logs, Default = false
