FS#833 - pppoe memory problem

----------
For the moment you can try to add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf

vm.overcommit_memory = 2
vm.overcommit_ratio = 95

and type sysctl -p to apply or reboot.

With this settings, the kernel will prevent applications to allocate more memory than available.

In our case this will not work and the router will reboot before it becomes unusable after all memory is occupied.
If you have a separate syslog server you can see what the kernel try to do to stop that applications.

Maybe someone of LEDE developers reads this here and are willing to help to solve this problem.

Thanks

Edy
