[Bug 1985887] Re: systemd kills gnome-shell or gnome-terminal if gnome-terminal uses much memory (50% over 20s)

[Daniel Johnson]

Yesterday's copies did not trigger systemd-oomd, but one of them did
cause systemd-journald to timeout and restart.

Oct 16 14:00:07 Boromir systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Watchdog timeout (limit 3min)!
Oct 16 14:00:07 Boromir systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Killing process 578 (systemd-journal) with signal SIGABRT.

  3. Terminal or Gnome-shell will be killed by systemd-oomd

  It's because all stressors are under same cgroup belongs to terminal.
