Android中，进程的生命周期都是由系统控制的。即使用户在界面上关掉一个应用，切换到了别的应用，那个应用的进程依然是存在于内存之中的。这样设计的目的是为了下次启动应用能更加快速。当然，随着系统运行时间的增长，内存中的进程可能会越来越多，而可用的内存则将会越来越少。Android Kernel会定时执行一次检查，杀死一些进程，释放掉内存。
那么，如何来判断，哪些进程是需要杀死的呢？答案就是：low memory killer机制。
Android的low memory killer是基于linux的OOM（out of memory）规则改进而来的。OOM通过一些比较复杂的评分机制，对进程进行打分，然后将分数高的进程判定为bad进程，杀死进程并释放内存。OOM只有当系统内存不足的时候才会启动检查，而low memory killer则不仅是在应用程序分配内存发现内存不足时启动检查，它也会定时地进行检查。
Low memory killer主要是通过进程的oom_adj来判定进程的重要程度的。oom_adj的大小和进程的类型以及进程被调度的次序有关。
Low memory killer的具体实现在kernel，比如对于android 4.4.3所用的kernel_3.4，代码在：linux/kernel/drivers/staging/android/lowmemorykiller.c。
其原理很简单，在linux中，存在一个名为kswapd的内核线程，当linux回收存放分页的时候，kswapd线程将会遍历一张shrinker链表，并执行回调，或者某个app分配内存，发现可用内存不足时，则内核会阻塞请求分配内存的进程分配内存的过程，并在该进程中去执行lowmemorykiller来释放内存****。
struct shrinker的定义在linux/kernel/include/linux/shrinker.h，具体如下：
struct shrinker {
int (*shrink)(struct shrinker *, struct shrink_control *sc);
int seeks;/* seeks to recreate an obj */
long batch;/* reclaim batch size, 0 = default */
/* These are for internal use */
struct list_head list;
atomic_long_t nr_in_batch; /* objs pending delete */
};
#define DEFAULT_SEEKS 2 /* A good number if you don't know better. */
extern void register_shrinker(struct shrinker *);
extern void unregister_shrinker(struct shrinker *);
#endif
所以，只要注册 shrinker，就可以在内存分页回收时根据规则释放内存****，下面我们来看看lowmemorykiller的具体实现。首先是定义shrinker结构体，lowmem_shrink为回调函数的指针，当有内存分页回收的时候，获其他有需要的时机，这个函数将会被调用。
static struct shrinker lowmem_shrinker = {
.shrink = lowmem_shrink,
.seeks = DEFAULT_SEEKS * 16
};
初始化模块时进行注册，模块退出时注销。
static int __init lowmem_init(void)
{
register_shrinker(&lowmem_shrinker);
return 0;
}
static void __exit lowmem_exit(void)
{
unregister_shrinker(&lowmem_shrinker);
}
Android中，存在着一张内存阈值表，这张阈值表是可以在init.rc中进行配置的，合理配置这张表，对于小内存设备有非常重要的作用。我们来看lowmemorykiller.c中这张默认的阈值表：
static int lowmem_adj[6] = {
0,
1,
6,
12,
};
static int lowmem_adj_size = 4;
static int lowmem_minfree[6] = {
3 * 512,/* 6MB */
2 * 1024,/* 8MB */
4 * 1024,/* 16MB */
16 * 1024,/* 64MB */
};
static int lowmem_minfree_size = 4;
lowmem_adj中各项数值代表阈值的警戒级数，lowmem_minfree代表对应级数的剩余内存。也就是说，当系统的可用内存小于6MB时，警戒级数为0；当系统可用内存小于8M而大于6M时，警戒级数为1；当可用内存小于64M大于16MB时，警戒级数为12。Low memory killer的规则就是根据当前系统的可用内存多少来获取当前的警戒级数，如果进程的oom_adj大于警戒级数并且最大，进程将会被杀死（具有相同omm_adj的进程，则杀死占用内存较多的）。omm_adj越小，代表进程越重要。一些前台的进程，oom_adj会比较小，而后台的服务，omm_adj会比较大，所以当内存不足的时候，Low memory killer必然先杀掉的是后台服务而不是前台的进程。
OK，现在我们来看具体代码，也就是lowmem_shrink这个回调函数，先来：
static int lowmem_minfree_size = 4;
static unsigned long lowmem_deathpending_timeout;
#define lowmem_print(level, x...)\
do {\
if (lowmem_debug_level >= (level))\
printk(x);\
} while (0)

if (lowmem_adj_size < array_size)
array_size = lowmem_adj_size;

array_size = lowmem_minfree_size;

if (other_free < lowmem_minfree[i] &&

break;
}
}

return rem;

if (oom_score_adj < min_score_adj) {

continue;
}
tasksize = get_mm_rss(p->mm);
task_unlock(p);
if (tasksize <= 0)
continue;
if (selected) {
if (oom_score_adj < selected_oom_score_adj)
continue;
if (oom_score_adj == selected_oom_score_adj &&
tasksize <= selected_tasksize)
continue;
}
selected = p;
selected_tasksize = tasksize;
selected_oom_score_adj = oom_score_adj;
lowmem_print(2, "select %d (%s), adj %d, size %d, to kill\n",
p->pid, p->comm, oom_score_adj, tasksize);
}
if (selected) {
lowmem_print(1, "send sigkill to %d (%s), adj %d, size %d\n",
selected->pid, selected->comm,
selected_oom_score_adj, selected_tasksize);
lowmem_deathpending_timeout = jiffies + HZ;
send_sig(SIGKILL, selected, 0);
set_tsk_thread_flag(selected, TIF_MEMDIE);
rem -= selected_tasksize;
}
lowmem_print(4, "lowmem_shrink %lu, %x, return %d\n",
sc->nr_to_scan, sc->gfp_mask, rem);
rcu_read_unlock();
return rem;
}
第22行至第35行。通过global_page_state()函数获取系统当前可用的内存大小，然后根据可用内存大小及内存阈值表，来计算系统当前的警戒等级。
第40行，计算rem值。
第44行至第48行这个if-block，发现此时系统的内存状况还是很不错的，于是就什麽也不做，直接返回了。
第49行至第90行，遍历系统中所有的进程，选中将要杀掉的那个进程。第56行，跳过内核线程，内核线程不参加这个杀进程的游戏。第69行至第73行，进程的oom_score_adj小于警戒阈值，则无视。第74行，获取进程所占用的内存大小，RSS值。第78行至第84行，如果这个进程的oom_score_adj小于我们已经选中的那个进程的oom_score_adj，或者这个进程的oom_score_adj等于我们已经选中的那个进程的oom_score_adj，但其所占用的内存大小tasksize小于我们已经选中的那个进程所占用内存大小，则继续寻找下一个进程。第85至第89行，选中正在遍历的这个的进程，更新selected_tasksize为这个进程所占用的内存大小tasksize，更新selected_oom_score_adj为这个进程的oom_score_adj。
第91行至第99行，杀死选中的进程。先是更新lowmem_deathpending_timeout，然后便是给进程发送一个signal SIGKILL，接下来是设置进程的标记为TIF_MEMDIE，最后则是更新一下rem的值。
adj值的设置
在lowmemorykiller的code中我们有看到一个默认的阈值表。如我们前面所提到的那样，各种各样的设备、产品也可以自己定制这个值。这种定制主要是通过导出一些内核变量来实现的，具体代码如下：

lowmemorykiller在此处总共导出了4个内核变量，其中两个是内核数组。我们可以在如下位置访问到这些内核变量：/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters。在init.rc文件中会设置这些内核变量的属性(system/core/rootdir/init.rc)，以便于后面系统对这些值进行修改：
281 chown root system /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
282 chmod 0664 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
283 chown root system /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
284 chmod 0664 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
那通常情况下，比如在Nexus 7或类似的设备上，adj值又是在什麽时候设置的呢？设置的那些值依据是什麽呢，是一个经验值呢还是有什麽算法来算出那些值？
搜索android4.4.3_r1.1的整个codebase，我们发现lowmemorykiller所导出的那些值只在ProcessList.updateOomLevels()方法中被修改了。接着我们就来具体看一下这个方法的实现(实现此方法的文件位置为frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ProcessList.java)：

}
adj值是一组写死的固定的值，具体可以参考mOomAdj的定义。
第123行至第127行，是第一轮计算各个adj所对应的minimum free memory阈值。计算各个值的算式为**_(long)(low + ((high-low)*scale))。low值和high值都是预定义的固定的经验值，比较关键的是那个scale值。在前面计算scale的部分，我们可以看到，它会先计算一个memory的scale值(为((float)(mTotalMemMb-300))/(700-300))，再计算一个屏幕分辨率的scale值(((float)(displayWidth*displayHeight)-minSize)/(maxSize-minSize)_**)，首先取scale值为这两个scale值中较大的那一个。再然后是一些容错处理，将scale值限制在0～1之间，以防止设备内存小于300MB，同时设备分辨率小于480*800；或者，设备内存大于700MB，或设备分辨率大于1280*800的情况出现时，出现太不合理的阈值。
第129行至133行，是第二轮计算各个adj所对应的minimum free memory阈值。计算各个值的算式为**_(long)((float)minfree_abs * mOomMinFree[i] / mOomMinFree[mOomAdj.length - 1])_。此处给了各设备对low memory阈值进行定制的机会。各个设备可以在framework的config文件中定义config_lowMemoryKillerMinFreeKbytesAbsolute**，以指定最大的adj所对应的free memory阈值，其他各个adj所对应的free memory阈值将依比例算出。
第135行至第142行，是第三轮计算各个adj所对应的minimum free memory阈值。计算各个值的算式为**mOomMinFree[i] += (long)((float)minfree_adj * mOomMinFree[i] / mOomMinFree[mOomAdj.length - 1])。此处是给特定设备微调low memory的阈值提供机会。不过我们仔细来看第二轮和第三轮的计算，这两轮计算似乎是可以合并为：(long)((float)(minfree_abs + minfree_adj) * mOomMinFree[i] / mOomMinFree[mOomAdj.length - 1])**。
后面则是构造适合设置给lowmemorykiller导出参数的字符串，并最终将构造的这组参数设置进去。
那这个ProcessList.updateOomLevels()方法又是在什麽时候会被调用到呢？是在ProcessList.applyDisplaySize()方法中：
void applyDisplaySize(WindowManagerService wm) {
if (!mHaveDisplaySize) {
Point p = new Point();
wm.getBaseDisplaySize(Display.DEFAULT_DISPLAY, p);
if (p.x != 0 && p.y != 0) {
updateOomLevels(p.x, p.y, true);
mHaveDisplaySize = true;
}
}
}
在这个方法中，当能够从WMS中获取有效的屏幕分辨率时，会去更新oom levels，并且更新之后就不会再次去更新。我们再来追查ProcessList.applyDisplaySize()，是在ActivityManagerService.updateConfiguration()：
public void updateConfiguration(Configuration values) {
enforceCallingPermission(android.Manifest.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION,
"updateConfiguration()");
synchronized(this) {
if (values == null && mWindowManager != null) {
// sentinel: fetch the current configuration from the window manager
values = mWindowManager.computeNewConfiguration();
}
if (mWindowManager != null) {
mProcessList.applyDisplaySize(mWindowManager);
}
final long origId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
if (values != null) {
Settings.System.clearConfiguration(values);
}
updateConfigurationLocked(values, null, false, false);
Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(origId);
}
}
我们总结一下OOM levels的更新：时机是在系统启动后，第一个configuration change的消息到AMS的时候；adj值为一组固定的预定义的值；各个adj所对应的min free阈值则根据系统的内存大小和屏幕的分辨率计算得出，各个设备还可以通过framework的config config_lowMemoryKillerMinFreeKbytesAdjust和config_lowMemoryKillerMinFreeKbytesAbsolute来定制最终各个adj所对应的min free阈值。
我们可以根据系统所吐出来的log看一下，事实是否如我们上面对code的分析那样。由某个设备抓到的系统内核吐出来的log，可以发现如下的这些行(只出现一次)：
I/KERNEL ( 609): [ 14.064905] lowmemorykiller: lowmem_shrink: convert oom_adj to oom_score_adj:
I/KERNEL ( 609): [ 14.064932] lowmemorykiller: oom_adj 0 => oom_score_adj 0
I/KERNEL ( 609): [ 14.064938] lowmemorykiller: oom_adj 1 => oom_score_adj 58
I/KERNEL ( 609): [ 14.064942] lowmemorykiller: oom_adj 2 => oom_score_adj 117
I/KERNEL ( 609): [ 14.064947] lowmemorykiller: oom_adj 3 => oom_score_adj 176
I/KERNEL ( 609): [ 14.064951] lowmemorykiller: oom_adj 9 => oom_score_adj 529
I/KERNEL ( 609): [ 14.064956] lowmemorykiller: oom_adj 15 => oom_score_adj 1000
由前面lowmemorykiller的code不难看出，这些log在lowmem_autodetect_oom_adj_values()函数中吐出，是在内核空间吐出来的。吐出这些log的进程的pid为609。我们再来看一下这个进程到底是何方神圣：
desktop:~/develop_tools$ adb shell ps | grep 609
system 609 235 1031532 94240 ffffffff ffffe430 S system_server
谜底揭晓，是system_server。不难推测出来，这应当是在系统启动之后，AMS第一次接到configuration change的消息，去更新OOM level，lowmemorykiller的lowmem_autodetect_oom_adj_values()函数被调到，更新lowmemorykiller的lowmem_adj时而吐出来的。与我们前面对AMS code的分析基本一致。
还需要我们厘清的问题，lowmemorykiller的lowmem_shrink具体在什麽时机会被执行？
Done。
