Its my turn now for the professional statements, let's start with this technical side: you wanted to send a signal for the process to be killed, but this will need 1. to allocate a signal, which will deadlock 2. no need to do this for sigill, but it will not work if process is in unkillable state, while oom-killer clears iirc Now to the oom-handler: if it will want to free some memory, it will have to call a syscall with some pointer, which in turn may be in the swapped area, so handler will be locked. -- Evgeniy Polyakov _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
