Unlike #1655842, also seeing the same oom-killer on multiple servers updated to 4.8.0-34. First upgraded them all 4.8 servers 4.8.0-36, then downgraded a few to 4.4.0-63. I am seeing no change in the memory usage, so I can only assume that 4.4.0-63 is also bugged with the same problem as 4.4.0-59 and 4.8.0-34. Either because #1655842 is not fixed, or it is only fixed for certain kinds of workloads. However, on closer inspection, there is definitely a notable difference between 4.4.0-59 and 4.4.0-63/4.8.0-34. The symptoms I'm seeing are: Upgrading 4.4.0-57 -> 4.4.0-59: - /proc/meminfo:Buffers: Up from 9GB to 15GB - /proc/meminfo:Cached: Up from 5GB to 10GB - /proc/meminfo:SReclaimable: Down from 15GB to 5GB. - /proc/meminfo:SUnreclaim: No notable change Upgrading 4.4.0-57 -> 4.8.0-34: - /proc/meminfo:Buffers: Up from 9GB to 14GB - /proc/meminfo:Cached: Down from 5GB to 2GB - /proc/meminfo:SReclaimable: Down from 15GB to 14GB. - /proc/meminfo:SUnreclaim: No notable change Downgrading 4.8.0-34 -> 4.4.0-63: (however uptime is only 1 hour) - /proc/meminfo:Buffers: No notable change - /proc/meminfo:Cached: No notable change - /proc/meminfo:SReclaimable: No notable change - /proc/meminfo:SUnreclaim: No notable change Setting vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 300 seems to have a positive effect of not causing OOMs. Downgrading to 4.4.0-57 also works.
