Understood.

Sounds good, done.
In the meantime, I ran into this again:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195863
btrfs check of a big filesystem kills the kernel due to OOM (but btrfs userspace is not OOM killed)
Is it achievable at all for btrfs check to realize that it's taking all the
available RAM in kernel space, is about to crash the system, and cancel the
check before the system crashes?
I've already confirmed that it doesn't use swap. I've just had to order new
RAM to upgrade my machine from 24GB to 32GB, but 32GB is max for that
hardware, so hopefully the lowmem repair stuff will work before I hit the
32GB limit next time.
In the meantime, though, it really shouldn't crash your system (potentially
causing more damage in the process because you end up with an unclean
shutdown).
Can anyone look at this?
Thanks,
Marc
