Hi list,
When debian run out of memory, I can only ping the host and can't ssh to
the host.
It seems oom-killer is running but memory is still exhaust.
What should I do then? Only reboot can solve the problem?
Can I protect oom-killer from kill the sshd then I can ssh to the box to
kill the process?

If you have either the Linux source¹ or the Linux documents² installed,
please read ./Documentation/vm/overcommit-accounting to find out how to
configure the overcommit feature of Linux.
AFAIK, when the oom-killer is invoked, almost any process can end up
being the victim, and the system can rapidly reach a state of uselessness.
