[dm-devel] [multipathd] correct oom_adj value

[Hannes Reinecke <hare suse de>]

Hi Christophe,

any recent kernel will only accept values > -17 for oom_adj.
So writing '-17' into oom_adj will only lead to an error, not to the
desired behaviour.

Patch is attached.

Cheers,

Hannes

[multipathd] set oom_adj to a valid value

As of 2.6.14, the kernel will only accept oom_adj values of > -17.
Writing '-17' into oom_adj will be ignored. This patch fixes the
value to -16.
