This article is a little confusing, so I just want to clarify something for the audience. It makes it sound like OOM killing is asynchronous, but it is not. The OOM killer kicks in as soon as you try to realize more memory than your cgroup's limit. The kernel will first attempt to reclaim memory and if that fails it will kill something. There isn't some grace period during which your cgroup can skate along over its limit. |
