Yup, exactly that. This change has some overlap with EarlyOOM, but neither mechanism is complete on its own, and it makes sense for both of them to coexist. So, EarlyOOM protects the system by killing processes when the system thrashes, or if heuristics suggest it may be close to thrashing. uresourced on the other hand approaches the problem from the other side. It does not prevent trashing at all, but instead tries to shield certain processes (i.e. the graphical session) from the worst effects. Benjamin
