[patch 3.5-rc2] mm, oom: fix and cleanup oom score calculations

From: David Rientjes
Date: Mon Jun 11 2012 - 05:11:50 EST


The divide in p->signal->oom_score_adj * totalpages / 1000 within
oom_badness() was causing an overflow of the signed long data type.

This adds both the root bias and p->signal->oom_score_adj before doing the
normalization which fixes the issue and also cleans up the calculation.
