- jeffbee 4y agoSure, if you don't hit any of its error paths it is fairly happy. A really easy way to watch Linux go down in flames is to use kmem accounting (which is enabled by default) and a cgroup with a low memory limit (say, 48MB) and then inside that cgroup do something that exercises the kernel a lot, like walk a filesystem.
