Create a OOM condition for test.

Asked by medent in Linux Administration, Linux

Hi,  I would like to add a stress test to my testing portfolio that specifically stresses low mem.  I would like to be able to benchmark a servers ability to handle low memory stress.  In other words I want to see how far I can push a server before OOM will happen.
I'm not sure how to create such a test and looking for ideas to develop this (script based or c prog)
I have had servers fail with OOM issues out in the field, so I want to be able to benchmark this as a test to make verify new configs are correct, etc, before sending out!  Thanks.
