It happend now the third time that the OOM killer kicks in with current TW and kernel 4.7. This never happend with my selfcompiled 4.5.
Any idea if FireFox just leaks memory and deserves to die, or if the kernel is broken?
There is a kernel memory leak, I very suspect. ARM and ppc kernel builds fail due to that. But I was unable to catch that beast yet :/.
Ok. I will try 4.7.1 which mentions some ipc leak, and also 4.6.4. Attached is meminfo, slabinfo and yet another OOM killer after I restarted firefox. It happens to work with another profile, which I will use now to get something done. Olaf
