Add --oom-avoid-bytes option to stress-ng tests to prevent frequent OOM (bugfix)#1722
Conversation
Recent versions of stress-ng include the --oom-avoid-bytes option to specify how much free memory should be kept un-allocated to try to give enough headroom to avoid the OOM killer from terminating processes. Adding this option to the main stress-ng command with a threshold of 10%. See discussion in ColinIanKing/stress-ng#270 for more information.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Can you see if the option exists on core16? (check via version!)

This tag was added in v0.15.06. We use Colin King's stress-ng PPA to build our snaps, and Xenial is still a supported version (current version there is 0.18.09, like all the other supported versions of Ubuntu), so we should be good. |
