I understand exactly what EarlyOOM does, which is precisely why I take issue with enabling this by default. > my co-developer had a recursion in his code and after a few seconds the > machine was completly unresponsible due debugging the root cause That doesn't sound like anything to do with recursion, but either a memory leak, or unchecked allocation. It may help to limit the amount of memory that specific program can use, in order to help debug the issue. > even power-key took *15 minutes* for a clean shutdown while he was > tempted to hard power off the machine which is not much fun witch 32 GB > RAM and all sort of database services Yeah, OOM situations are never fun. However, with all sorts of database services, you wouldn't want something killing processes all willy nilly. > guess what was the solution: kill the fucking httpd worker before it > kills the system You can limit the process with cgroups, so that only the software you actually intend to limit is affected, and the rest works as you'd expect. -- John M.
