Bug#1012870: dbus-daemon

I believe I have fixed the pathological "tmpfs filling up" case via
https://github.com/rfjakob/earlyoom/commit/459d76296d3d0a0b59ee1e2e48ad2271429de916

Bug#1012870: dbus-daemon

2022-10-22 Thread Jakob Unterwurzacher
Hi Chrysn, thanks for the details!

The behavior we see here from earlyoom is clearly pathologic,
but I think `--avoid` will not save the day.
This would just delay dbus-daemon from being targeted, but it
will not prevent it.

Now what I don't understand is what consumes all the memory
and how it can be outside the reach of earlyoom.

Some ideas:

* a tmpfs filling up?
* the balloon driver in a virtual machine (is this a virtual machine?)
* processes running in another container (does earlyoom itself run in a
container?)

I have never seen dbus-daemon use more memory than firefox.
Is there an unfixed memory leak in the Debian version of dbus-deamon?
