> Memory management and specifically OOM conditions remain an unbelievably painful nightmare on Linux. Yes. It's horrendous to put it mildly. Linux does not handle OOM conditions properly. I know I can set up a few guardrails with cgroups. I know I can also install earlyoom. I know I can increase swap or use zram. In the end these are all fundamentally just nasty hacks that might spare one once in a while. They do not fix how these conditions are handled. Please do not offer these as solutions. I've seen LUKS volumes mount themselves read-only because the kernel couldn't allocate memory in dm_crypt, for the love of god just kill something in userspace. The current state is utterly unacceptable and I'm tired of all the excuses.
