Allocated 10.0 MiB. Allocated 20.0 MiB. Allocated 30.0 MiB. Allocated 40.0 MiB. Allocated 50.0 MiB. Allocated 60.0 MiB. Allocated 70.0 MiB. ... Allocated 1.88 GiB. Allocated 1.89 GiB. Allocated 1.90 GiB. Allocated 1.91 GiB. Allocated 1.92 GiB. Killed ``` Here is my original test case, that makes reproducing the issue a one-liner: ``` ❯ systemd-run --scope -p MemoryMax=1M --user leak-memory Running as unit: run-p222392-i222692.scope; invocation ID: 942b1e8b1e374e82abeff046a62dcbf7 Starting memory consumption in 1.00 MiB steps to maximum 42.0 TiB. Allocated 10.0 MiB. Allocated 20.0 MiB. .... Allocated 470.0 MiB. zsh: killed systemd-run --scope -p MemoryMax=1M --user leak-memory ``` The issue obviously scales with the value set in MemoryMax. The only lead I've got for now, is that the value I set in MemoryMax weirdly correlates to what is reported by oom-kill in the pgtables value: With 1M: ``` [62584.409068] Memory cgroup out of memory: Killed process 237541 (leak-memory) total-vm:490024kB, anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:1448kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:1000 pgtables:1004kB oom_score_adj:0 ``` With 4M: ``` [62693.780200] Memory cgroup out of memory: Killed process 237732 (leak-memory) total-vm:2058752kB, anon-rss:128kB, file-rss:1512kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:1000 pgtables:4072kB oom_score_adj:0 ``` In both cases, the reported `total-vm` value is way above the expected limit.
