Could you post your diff please? oom_reaper will reap not only the oom victims but also tasks which hit the oom path and they are exiting. see out_of_memory: /* * If current has a pending SIGKILL or is exiting, then automatically * select it. The goal is to allow it to allocate so that it may * quickly exit and free its memory. */ if (task_will_free_mem(current)) { mark_oom_victim(current); wake_oom_reaper(current); return true; } -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
