Description: userspace Out-Of-Memory (OOM) killer for Linux systems
oomd leverages PSI and cgroupv2 to monitor a system holistically. oomd then
takes corrective action in userspace before an OOM occurs in kernel space.
Corrective action is configured via a flexible plugin system, in which custom
code can be written. By default, this involves killing offending processes.
This enables an unparalleled level of flexibility where each workload can have
custom protection rules. Furthermore, time spent livedlocked in kernelspace is
minimized.
