http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=985233 Bug ID: 985233 Summary: OOM Killer don't kill processes, when the free memory ends. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: 13ilya@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 kernel-default-4.6.2-2.1 (AMD Turion 64 X2 1.7 GHz TK-53, 4GB RAM) cat /etc/fstab UUID=26322546-7147-48c0-b880-664acc5c41d2 / ext4 noatime,acl,user_xattr 1 1 UUID=48dfd3b7-255b-4c1b-94d9-012d448f7a09 /ILYA ext4 noatime 1 2 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0 tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0 tmpfs /var/cache/zypp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=0755 0 0 tmpfs /run tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=0755,size=10m 0 0 tmpfs /run/lock tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=0755,size=10m 0 0 tmpfs /root/.cache tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=0700 0 0 tmpfs /home/ilya/.cache tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=0700,uid=1000 0 0 When I run in /tmp any resource-intensive actions, such as archiving (7z a -mx=9) or compile (make -j4) and the size of the resulting file, and/or memory usage, and sometimes it happens that even running firefox and 4GB of RAM sometimes end (swap I do not have), which leads to inhibition of the system and the inability to do anything, including login via TTY1 or SSH. It would seem necessary to wait a bit and OOM Killer will kill the processes that is always consumed the most memory, such as 7z, make or firefox. But this does not happen, I waited more than 5 minutes. Attempting to start it manually (Alt + SysRq + F) also has no effect. The only thing that helps me is Alt + SysRq + (R, E, I, S, U, O). Such behavior on the different versions of openSUSE is constantly, not tried on other distributions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
