Our systems becomes bigger and bigger, but OOM still happens.
This becomes serious problem for systems where OOM happens
frequently(containers, VM) because each OOM generate pressure
on dmesg log infrastructure. Let's allow system administrator
ability to tune OOM dump behaviour
Disable oom log dump globaly:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_log
Enable oom log dump globaly:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_log

+oom_dump_log
+Enables a system-wide dump to be produced when the kernel performs an
+OOM-killing. This sysctl control dump about general information of OOM state
+
+If this is set to zero, this information is suppressed. On very
+large systems with thousands of tasks it may not be feasible to dump
+the memory state information for each OOM event. Such systems should
+not be forced to incur a performance penalty in OOM conditions when the
+information may not be desired.
+
+The default value is 1 (enabled).

oom_dump_tasks
Enables a system-wide task dump (excluding kernel threads) to be produced
