Hello,

Note that your problems are not XFS specific, but can occur with any
Linux filesystem.

First problem:  no swap
Second problem: cache is not being reclaimed

Read vfs_cache_pressure at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt

You've likely set this value to zero.  Changing it to 200 should prompt
the kernel to reclaim dentries and inodes aggressively, preventing the
oom-killer from kicking in.

Cheers,

Stan
