This is fun. Actually isn't too difficult to trigger, simply slowly reduce the memory Xen allocates to Dom0 and eventually the oom-killer is likely to trigger (having tried to shrink Dom0 as far as possible, believe me, I know). I had been wondering which of the Xen daemons could be safely restar

In case of oom killer terminating some process, we'd rather not see xenstored go. Xenstored has an in-memory database, and when starting the process again, it would be empty, which is very inconvenient. Xenstored should already score quite low and have a fairly low memory footprint, but according t
