Don't start multiple jobs unless load is
below N.
In any case, patches welcome :)
During today's Yocto technical call (1),
we talked about approaches to limiting the system load and avoiding
swap and/or OOM events. Here's what (little!) i recall from the
discussion, 9 busy hours later.
In the short run, instead of independently maintaining changes to
configurations to limit parallelism or xz memory usage, etc, we
could develop an optional common include file where such limits
are shared across the community.
I tried PARALLEL_MAKE_nodejs = "-j 1" from local.conf but that didn't work.
It would need to be:
PARALLEL_MAKE_pn-nodejs = "-j 1"
So I watched it run for a while. It compiles with g++ and as at about
0.5GB per thread, which is OK. In the end it does ld taking 4GB and it
tries to do 4 in parallel. And then swapping becomes so heavy the
desktop becomes unresponsive. Like I mentioned before ssh from another
machine allows me to STOP one of them, allowing the remaining to
complete. And then CONT the last one.
I worked around it now, by creating a bbappend for nodejs with only
PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 2"
If that works, the override above should also work. You do need the "pn-"
prefix to the recipe name though.
And indeed it does, thanks so much for the tip.
