Created attachment 1230328 [details] I've attached a typical piece of the log. which shows among other things that plenty of memory is available Description of problem: When logged in to a gnome session using wayland I get frequent events of gnome-shell invoking oom-killer to kill firefox, gnome-session, ssh, etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to a gnome session using wayland 2. 3. Actual results: After a few hours gnome-shell invokes oom-killer to kill an existing process such as firefox, gnome-session, ssh, etc. even though there is plenty of free memory available. Expected results: processes should not be killed. The problem does not arise if Xorg is used instead of wayland Additional info:
Further in the log one sees that the kernel thinks that it is out of memory even though the earlier part of the log shows plenty of free memory: Dec 1 07:30:35 neumann kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 3638 (firefox) score 64 or sacrifice child Dec 1 07:30:35 neumann kernel: Killed process 3638 (firefox) total-vm:1548872kB, anon-rss:721428kB, file-rss:31616kB, shmem-rss:10176kB Dec 1 07:30:35 neumann kernel: oom_reaper: reaped process 3638 (firefox), now anon-rss:12kB, file-rss:96kB, shmem-rss:10180kB
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
