earlyoom and resource management discussion(aday, 13:26:42)
Background is
https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/119(aday,
13:26:44)
We meet with Facebook's Tejun Heo and Dan
Schatzberg to discuss oomd. They leave.(aday,
13:26:46)
Neal recommends we proceed with earlyoom for
F32. Future proposals involving oomd/systemd are interesting but
still to far in the future for us to wait for.(aday,
13:26:48)
Tomas not certain oomd will work well without
machine-specific configuration. Michael thinks it should
work.(aday,
13:26:51)
Owen and Michael suggest we should experiment
with setting MemoryLow configuration for mutter.(aday,
13:26:54)
Chris wants to proceed for F32, but worries
earlyoom isn't aggressive enough. Most users will reach for the
power button before (RAM + swap) reaches 90% full and earlyoom kicks
in.(aday,
13:26:57)
Owen suggests this requires mention in the
release notes, especially noting that applications will be killed
early for users without swap.(aday,
13:27:02)
Michael again proposes F33 instead of F32, but
OK with implementing it right away either way. (F32 branches next
week.)(aday,
13:27:05)
Michael concerned about how to remove earlyoomd
in a future distro update if we want to switch to something else.
Neal proposes multiple solutions.(aday,
13:27:08)
AGREED: Proceed with
earlyoom for F32.(aday,
13:27:11)
ACTION: Chris to
change Fedora presets and update comps. Ensure earlyoom gets
installed during distro upgrades with Supplements:

The WG discusses upgrades, and appropriate use
of rawhide to test changes.(aday,
