We are running many virtualization hosts with Linux 3.11.3, qemu 1.6.1 +
kvm and ksm. The hosts have 128GB RAM, 10GB swap and 24x AMD Opteron
6238 cores.
Several times few weeks ago, we have seen the OOM killer come to life
and quickly kill a large number of VMs on a host, even when there
appears to be free memory on that host at the start of this.
However the OOM killings are preceded by some other traces, similar to
the ones that were reported by Dave couple of months ago in this very
thread (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/7/27).
The relevant kernel log lines read:

Since we are using a 3.11.3 kernel, it already contains Cyrill's fix.
However, our kernel log is very similar to Dave's report, so we are
wondering if our mass OOM kill is another problem in the same area?
Any thoughts on this? I can provide more information from the logs, if
necessary, and my colleague Richard originally reported the mass OOM
kill in detail at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/108703.
Cheers,
Alin.
