OOM-killer once again chooses ... not the culprit. ;)My little laptop has only 8 GB of RAM. Is there a way that I can limit the amount of parallelism?As mentioned, "make -jN htmldocs" should be respected now (before it was as many CPUs as it had). I'm wondering if it's actually the addition of the MAINTAINERS file parsing -- that's a really big parse and maybe that pushed things over the edge? -- Kees Cook
Seriously, looking/parsing MAINTAINERS file becomes serious pain in the arse. It big and very easy to get lost in the way. Okay, complaining for the sake of complaining doesn't make things go far ...but until we find something more efficient ,alas! We have deal with it...that kinda sucks. -Bhaskar
