Please let me know. I've also noticed much more OOM killing going on in the openQA tests of Rawhide updates in the last few weeks, I think it started with kernel 6.1. It seems particularly bad on KDE tests, I'm not sure if this is just due to KDE using more memory than other environments or what. I've had to introduce various mitigations. We used to allot only 2G of RAM to each VM in openQA tests on x86_64; I first bumped it to 3G, now I'm up to 4G for KDE tests. I also tweaked the tests to stop the desktop environment before doing the `dnf update` to install the packages from the update. Even with that, it still happens sometimes. It seems to be a bit better with more recent 6.1 kernels, and it's better with non-debug than debug kernels (the builds like "kernel- 6.1.0-0.rc2.21.fc38" are non-debug, builds like "kernel-6.1.0- 0.rc2.20221028git23758867219c.24.fc38" are debug - basically if it's a dated snapshot it's debug). But there definitely seems to be some kind of issue. I filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2133829 about it. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
