So I did this on 4.4 on ppc64le with 32GB RAM and 96GB Swap:
ubuntu@entei:~$ free -lm
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 32565 656 30603 2 1304 30503
Low: 32565 1961 30603
High: 0 0 0
Swap: 97695 342 97353
And this time OOMKiller was not hit.
ubuntu@entei:~$ ./memory_stress_ng
Total memory is 32 GiB
Constant run time is 300 seconds per stressor
Variable run time is 620 seconds per stressor
Estimated total run time is 20 minutes
Running stress-ng stack stressor for 300 seconds....

*******************************************************************
** stress-ng memory test passed!
*******************************************************************
The only message that appeared in dmesg during this test run is one warning: (I
cleared the ring buffer with dmesg -C before running the test).
ubuntu@entei:~$ dmesg
[ 7390.968438] stress-ng[15584]: bad frame in setup_rt_frame: 00003fffdd0e1040
nip
And from looking at vmstat, this is the lowest and highest consumption observed:
0 0 340 30582 14 1299 0 0 3 385 27 25 3 3 75 19 0
0 260 58068 196 12 1323 2 76 2571 78490 3295 5493 0 0 25 74 0
So at the least, only 340MB swap consumed and a full 30GB ram free, and
at the most, 58GB swap consumed and only 196MB free.
So there DOES seem to be a limit to what these tests are consuming.

Title:
stress-ng triggering oomkiller running brk and stack stressors on all
arches.
Status in Stress-ng:
New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Artful:
Confirmed
Bug description:
During regression testing on a z/VM instance, I noticed call traces
being dumped to dmesg that seem to be related to stress-ng.
The stress-ng invocation we're using is:
stress-ng --aggressive --verify --timeout $runtime \
--metrics-brief --tz --times \
--af-alg 0 --bsearch 0 --context 0 --cpu 0 \
--crypt 0 --hsearch 0 --longjmp 0 --lsearch
0 \
--matrix 0 --qsort 0 --str 0 --stream 0 \
--tsearch 0 --vecmath 0 --wcs 0
as executed by the cpu_stress script from the cpu/cpu_stress_ng test
in the certification suite.
