1. Setup vm.overcommit_memory=2 & vm.overcommit_ratio=100 in /etc/sysctl.conf 2. sysctl -p 3. Upgrade the kernel (dnf --refresh upgrade) 4. Clean /etc/sysctl.conf by removing lines, added in step 1 5. Reboot expected default values, i.e. vm.overcommit_memory=0 & vm.overcommit_ratio=50, because sysctl.conf is clean, BUT, now default values is current values of kernel upgrade time, vm.overcommit_memory=2 & vm.overcommit_ratio=100 Very confusing... It's impossible to return distribution kernel default values now. Confirmed on three my Fedora machines (Fedora Gnome, Fedora Server and Fedora KDE spin), very surprised to found kernel parameter values, I setted up two years ago.
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 31 kernel bugs. Fedora 31 has now been rebased to 5.5.7-200.fc31. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 32, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 32. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
Confirmed at 5.5.8-200.fc31.x86_64
This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '31'. 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 31 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.
It's misunderstanding and strange feature of dracut. While kernel upgrade process run dracut -f, copy of /etc/sysctl.conf placed to initramfs. So, if I wrote any parameter to /etc/sysctl.conf and upgrade kernel, all parameters in current /etc/sysctl.conf will be my default parameters, until I run dracut -f again.
