I have this in my /etc/sysctl.d/99-oomkiller.conf

# "Iron Reserve" that can not be consumed by rogue tasks
vm.admin_reserve_kbytes = 1024000

# 0 = extensive heuristic scan of joblist (system doesn't have the power for that, when oomkiller is needed). Can shoot the wrong task
# 1 or more = kills the first task with condition "out of memory"
vm.oom_kill_allocating_task = 1

Yet somehow i still got in a livelock. So i remembered nohang and found in it’s readme about mgrlu. I found some documentation to it but it only provides runtime examples (already enabled but set to 0 on Artix, /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms should be 1000).

How should i set this permanently, sysctl doesn’t accept min_ttl_ms. Via kernel, via local.d script (non-systemd, dinit)?

Why doesn’t my config above work?

Any recommendation to runtime-services? (earlyoom for my server i guess)
