I asked because I have seen VMware's balloon driver trigger the OOMK in Linux killing and killing databases. It wasn't enough in these cases to simply turn off OOMK. VMware has a setting for each VM to "reserve" memory for that VM ensuring the balloon driver won't be used to a certain extent or at all. Then and only then would disabling OOMK really work.
