2013-05-17 Thread Karsten Suehring
I did some testing with a newer kernel on Debian a while ago. The 3.x series seemed to have higher load indeed, but as far as I could test, it did not kill the server. If you have multiple clients to the server it would be a good test to start several writes (like dd from /dev/random) over NFS and

Colin, thanks for the reply. Maybe I got a wrong impression ;-) After seeing the issue show up again and again over the last two years, my suggestion would be to change the oom_adj patch itself to set the child oom_adj value always to zero, independent of the value that it was called with. I unde
