It seems this patch makes systemd-oomd overreact on my day-to-day
machine and aggressively kill applications. I'm not the only one that
noticed such a behavior with 6.1 pre-releases:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2133829
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2134971
I think I have a pretty reliable way to trigger the issue that involves
starting the apps that I normally use and a VM that I occasionally use,
which up to now never resulted in such a behaviour.
On master as of today (8e5423e991e8) I can trigger the problem within a
minute or two. But I fail to trigger it with v6.0.6 or when I revert
4088a47e78f9 ("btrfs: add manual PSI accounting for compressed reads").
And yes, I use btrfs with compression for / and /home/.
See [1] for a log msg from systemd-oomd.
Note, I had some trouble with bisecting[2]. This series looked
suspicious, so I removed it completely ontop of master and the problem
went away. Then I tried reverting only 4088a47e78f9 which helped, too.
Let me know if you want me to try another combination or need more data.
Ciao, Thorsten

I have no idea what went wrong. 0a78a376ef3c (the last merge before the
one with this series) was fine, but c6ea70604249 (which afaics basically
is the next commit if I understand things right) was not. I tried
reverting it, which should give me the merge base (v6.0-rc2), but it was
broken, too. I guess I must have done something wrong, but I have no
idea what, but I tried again and got the same result. :-/
/me must be missing something and/or not understand git properly...
