Currently, the navit (routing app) launcher script modifies /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory without ever setting it back. This change should -if at all- should only be done with serious evaluation on the respective devices IMHO. I don't want to introduce random OOM process killings because apps start using the RAM the kernel has promised to them.
Do I get the OK to remove the relevant lines? I will follow up on this mail with a patch that you can ACK. spaetz Commit introducing this: http://cgit.openembedded.net/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=742fb4ae71e6a7e655385086ba9edebbf00b6ebd author Matthias Hentges <[email protected]> committer Matthias Hentges <[email protected]> 2008-01-05 commit 742fb4ae71e6a7e655385086ba9edebbf00b6ebd --- a/dev/null +++ b/packages/navit/files/navit.launcher ... + if test "$USER" = "root" + then + echo "Enabling low-mem workaround..." + echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
