Fedora plans to improve performance on RAM-starved systems |
 |
Ben Cotton has written about a proposal for the upcoming release of Fedora 32 which would cause the operating system to kill off memory-heavy processes when the system is running low of RAM and swap space. "Fedora editions and spins, have the in-kernel OOM (out-of-memory) manager enabled. The manager's concern is keeping the kernel itself functioning. It has no concern about user space function or interactivity. This proposed change attempts to improve the user experience, in the short term, by triggering the in-kernel process killing mechanism, sooner. Instead of the system becoming completely unresponsive for tens of minutes, hours or days, the expectation is an offending process (determined by oom_score, same as now) will be killed off within seconds or a few minutes. This is an incremental improvement in user experience, but admittedly still suboptimal. There is additional work on-going to improve the user experience further." Details on the prosal can be found in the Fedora wiki.
