Hey guys,

I believe I have seen a OOM situations reported on the ML and IRC recently, both of which are believed to be unrelated to btrfs, which this case is probably as well; I just want to provide my dmesg here anyway in case it turns out to be related to btrfs
nonetheless.

The following is a OOM situation with a headless Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS server running linux 4.8, while copying a lot of files from a broken btrfs FS (thread "BTRFS critical: corrupt leaf, slot offset bad; then read-only") to a external USB3.0 with
btrfs as well.

The box has 16GB of RAM, but this (XEN dom0) is limited to 10 of the 16GB of physical
RAM.

We can see that the OOM killer is pretty desperate and basically kills a lot of innocent userspace processes, including systemd, sshd, bash, and some others.

Not saying this has to be investigated, just keep this dmesg in mind in case you see
similar reports.

Box is still running for the next 24 hours in case anyone has troubleshooting
suggesting, but the OOM condition pretty much cleared:

Omitted inline dmesg as it doesn't fi in 100KB.



cheers,
