Hello everyone, I have a question. It seems that my system's OOM killer won't trigger,I have confirmed that the vm.panic_on_oom=0,vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=0.But when I ran a test software that continuously requested memory, OOM did not work and caused the system to freeze when the memory usage reached 98%
:D
this is my version
Code:

Linux version 6.6.47-gentoo-x86_64 (root@localhost.localdomain) (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (Gentoo 13.3.1_p20240614 p17) 13.3.1 20240614, GNU ld (Gentoo 2.42 p3) 2.42.0) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Sep  1 12:21:14 CST 2024


The Test Software Code
Code:

use std::alloc::Layout;


fn main() {
    let mut size = 50000 * 1024 * 1024;
    let mut vec =vec!();
    for i in 0.. {
        println!("{}",vec.len());
        unsafe {
            let layout = Layout::from_size_align(size,4096).expect("layout cant assign");
           
            vec.push(layout);
        }
    }
}



When i run this software, the usage of memory Continuous increase, when reached 98%, my system freezed. and oom did not do anything

you can check the section "What is thrashing?" and "What is the Out Of Memory (OOM) killer?" from the memory faq:
