oom_dump_tasks
Enables a system-wide task dump (excluding kernel threads) to be produced when the kernel performs an OOM-killing and includes such information as pid, uid, tgid, vm size, rss, cpu, oom_adj score, and name. This is helpful to determine why the OOM killer was invoked and to identify the rogue task that caused it.
If this is set to zero, this information is suppressed. On very large systems with thousands of tasks it may not be feasible to dump the memory state information for each one. Such systems should not be forced to incur a performance penalty in OOM conditions when the information may not be desired.
If this is set to non-zero, this information is shown whenever the OOM killer actually kills a memory-hogging task.
The default value is 0.
