From: chenjie <chenjie6@xxxxxxxxxx> when oom happened we can see: Out of memory: Kill process 9134 (init) score 3 or sacrifice child Killed process 9134 (init) total-vm:1868kB, anon-rss:84kB, file-rss:572kB Kill process 1 (init) sharing same memory ... Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009 That's because: the busybox init will vfork a process,oom_kill_process found the init not the children,their mm is the same when vfork.
