Hi Erhard,
The OOM kills on both kernel versions seem to be reasonable to me.
Your system has 2GB memory and it uses zswap with zsmalloc (which is
good since it can allocate from the highmem zone) and zstd/lzo (which
doesn't matter much). Somehow -- I couldn't figure out why -- it
splits the 2GB into a 0.25GB DMA zone and a 1.75GB highmem zone:
[ 0.000000] Zone ranges:
[ 0.000000] DMA [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000002fffffff]
[ 0.000000] Normal empty
[ 0.000000] HighMem [mem 0x0000000030000000-0x000000007fffffff]
The kernel can't allocate from the highmem zone -- only userspace and
zsmalloc can. OOM kills were due to the low memory conditions in the
DMA zone where the kernel itself failed to allocate from.
Do you know a kernel version that doesn't have OOM kills while running
the same workload? If so, could you send that .config to me? If not,
could you try disabling CONFIG_HIGHMEM? (It might not help but I'm out
of ideas at the moment.)
Thanks!
