Description
This test case tests that systemd-oomd kills the largest swap consumer when swap used is greater 90% (or whatever limit was defined by systemd-oomd-defaults).
Setup
- This test case should be performed on either bare-metal or virtual machines.
- Check that you are running systemd 248~rc4 or higher with
systemctl --version. - Ensure the systemd-oomd-defaults package is installed (included with Fedora 34).
- Boot the system and log in as a regular user.
- Ensure no other conflicting userspace OOM killers are running. For example you may have to stop earlyoom:
sudo systemctl stop earlyoom
How to test
- Check that systemd-oomd is running:
systemctl status systemd-oomd
- Check that the systemd-oomd-defaults policy was applied by running
oomctland verifying that "/" is listed as a path under "Swap Monitored CGroups" along with the current swap usage. - Now run the test:
systemd-run --user -r --unit systoomd_swap_test tail /dev/zero
- Make sure to reset the test unit after verifying the results:
systemctl --user reset-failed systoomd_swap_test.service
Expected Results
- systemd-oomd will have killed the unit started above.
- You can verify by checking for some of the relevant log lines with
journalctl: "Swap used <...> is more than 90%" or "systemd-oomd killed <...> process(es)" - The output of
systemctl --user status systoomd_swap_testshould say the unit is killed. The kill can be racy so you may or may not see "systemd-oomd killed <...> process(es) in this unit". But if you see that message and also mention of "oom-kill" (which means the kernel OOM killer also kicked in) please note that in the comments/results. Otherwise, if it was a systemd-oomd only kill there will be no mention of "oom-kill". - Swap used should be below 90% (use
free -h)
