Title: Kernel fails to execute code for killing OOM task if oom_kill_allocating_task = 0 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The problem is thoroughly described in this question: http://askubuntu.com/q/398236/20275 Steps to reproduce: Make sure oom_kill_allocating_task = 0 (it's the default configuration) cat /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task Disable your swap to make the test faster. Fill your RAM. After that the machine will freeze completely forever spinning HDD for some reason and thus slowly degrading it.
