Subject: Kernel 3.11 / 3.12 OOM killer and Xen ballooning
Hi,
Since 3.11 I have noticed that the OOM killer quite frequently triggers
in my Xen guest domains which use ballooning to increase/decrease their
memory allocation according to their requirements. One example domain I
have has a maximum memory setting of ~1.5Gb but it usually idles at
~300Mb, it is also configured with 2Gb swap which is almost 100% free.
# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 272080 248108 23972 0 1448 63064
-/+ buffers/cache: 183596 88484
Swap: 2097148 8 2097140
There is plenty of available free memory in the hypervisor to balloon to
the maximum size:
# xl info | grep free_mem
free_memory : 14923
An example trace from the oom killer in 3.12 is added below. So far I
have not been able to reproduce this at will so it is difficult to start
bisecting it to see if a particular change introduced this. However it
does seem that the behaviour is wrong because a) ballooning could give
the guest more memory, b) there is lots of swap available which could be
used as a fallback.
If other information could help or there are more tests that I could run
then please let me know.
Thanks,
James
