Public bug reported: Under memory pressure, my VM locks up. This has been reported upstream though I don't know how far any solution has progressed.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201603 Feb 6 07:15:42 vps632258 kernel: [151336.450064] z3fold: unknown buddy id 0 Feb 6 07:15:42 vps632258 kernel: [151336.454450] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 The little bit of log I managed to salvage is attached. This has happened to two identical VMs. Unusually it has not occurred on a third VM which is configured the same but has less RAM (fingers crossed it won't). Irrelevant information: I thought the lock-ups were due to me using a BTRFS filesystem, however I swapped over to NILFS2 and this still occurs. The only difference seems to be that I am now able to grab some of the kernel output.
