How to grant a process immunity from OOM killer?
by exerceo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KB2D)
I know, "it's not a good idea". It is my computer and I get to do with it what I want. After all, Linux is about user freedom.
I am sick of the OOM killer taking down firefox-bin because some other smaller process pushed it over the edge by taking some RAM. I want the OOM killer to kill some other process instead of Firefox. Or a sub-process such as "Isolated Web Content", but not Firefox itself.
