@crzwdjk @regehr @dotstdy @tedmielczarek the kernel OOM killer should be assumed to not exist because of the inherent constraints on its function (it can only kill a process after it exhausts all other options, by which point the end user has already rebooted the machine in frustration)

@whitequark @crzwdjk @regehr @dotstdy @tedmielczarek yeah i have had it kill a leaky process eating close to 100gb of memory after about a day of thrashing and killing some random other process
