Subject: OOM killer not nearly agressive enough?
Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2020 21:44:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200107204412.GA29562@amd> (raw)

Hi!
I updated my userspace to x86-64, and now chromium likes to eat all
the memory and bring the system to standstill.
Unfortunately, OOM killer does not react:
I'm now running "ps aux", and it prints one line every 20 seconds or
more. Do we agree that is "unusable" system? I attempted to do kill
from other session.
Do we agree that OOM killer should have reacted way sooner?
Is there something I can tweak to make it behave more reasonably?
Best regards,
Pavel
