loop: Too many partitions and OOM killer?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello.

syzbot is sometimes generating corrupted reports like
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=CrashLog&x=14f62a8b200000 .

The report includes flood of global OOM killer invocations, and I suspect
that the reason of global OOM killer invocations is a lot of "blkid" processes
(invoked by uevent?) after manipulating loop devices with a lot of partitions.

Can "blkid" be invoked asynchronously upon manipulating loop devices?
