Description Ben Cotton 2021-01-07 16:01:34 UTC
This is a tracking bug for Change: Enable systemd-oomd by default for all variants
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EnableSystemdOomd

Provide a better experience for Fedora users in out-of-memory (OOM) situations by enabling systemd-oomd by default. Actions taken by systemd-oomd operate on a per-cgroup level, aligning well with the life cycle of systemd units. systemd-oomd primarily uses Linux pressure stall information (PSI) to make decisions based on wasted productivity due to resource shortages; in addition to that, it also supports swap based actions.

Comment 1 Anita Zhang 2021-02-08 23:29:42 UTC
Update: I put up https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemd/pull-request/47 last week which includes all the new patches I upstreamed for the systemd-oomd proposal, and a specfile change to create a new subpackage systemd-oomd-defaults which has the configuration values from the proposal.

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2021-02-09 14:58:41 UTC
Today we reached the Completion deadline (testable) milestone in the Fedora schedule. All approved changes should be in a testable state. If you change is testable, please indicate this by setting the status to MODIFIED.

If you need to defer the change to Fedora 35 or withdraw the change entirely, please indicate this in a comment and NEEDINFO bcotton.

The 100% code complete deadline is Tuesday 23 February. By that date, your change should be fully implemented and the tracking bug set to ON_QA.

For other Fedora 34 milestones, see https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-34/f-34-key-tasks.html

Comment 3 Anita Zhang 2021-02-09 21:58:15 UTC
Created attachment 1756053 [details]
systemd-oomd Rawhide VM initial test

The change is now testable with:

  dnf copr enable anitazha/systemd-oomd
  dnf install systemd-oomd-defaults
  systemctl start systemd-oomd

The attachment shows sample commands and output.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2021-02-16 15:51:50 UTC
Reminder: The change complete (100% complete) deadline for Fedora 34 changes is Tuesday 23 February. At that point, changes should be 100% code complete, along with supporting documentation where appropriate. Please indicate this by setting the tracker bug for your change to ON_QA.

Comment 5 Michel Lind 2021-02-16 19:17:42 UTC
systemd 247.3-2 is built for F34 and Rawhide and works. https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/pull-request/611 will ensure systemd-oomd-defaults is preinstalled and drop earlyoom.

pls disable for aarch64 pinephone:

it's not possible to start this on a pinephone atm.

Comment 7 Anita Zhang 2021-03-02 05:47:39 UTC
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/18751 was merged in systemd 248~rc2 which should skip systemd-oomd on pinephone.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2022-05-12 16:58:22 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
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
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 10 Ben Cotton 2022-06-08 06:31:56 UTC
Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
