PERTAIN_TOReport

systemd service restarts on "Failed with result 'oom-kill'" when a runaway CHILD subprocess is OOM-killed (default OOMPolicy=stop)

PERTAIN_TORootCause

The kernel OOM killer killed some processes in this unit. — `OOMPolicy=stop` (the default) and `MemoryMax=infinity`. Tension: a disposable child being correctly reaped takes the parent service with it. Outcome: the runaway grew unbounded and exhausted host RAM+swap, producing a GLOBAL OOM.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

`Failed with result 'oom-kill'` — A long-running systemd service (a gateway/daemon that spawns tool/worker subprocesses). Outcome: the whole service went down.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

`OOMPolicy=continue` — via `systemctl daemon-reload` with NO service restart. Tension: a CHILD OOM-kill only fails that subprocess; the service keeps running.
