Hi, I'm new to nohang and found it useful in our rhel8 environment. Is it possible to exclude some process to not to be killed by nohang? How can I do that?

Hi! You can change the priorities of processes when nohang select them as a victim.

See https://github.com/hakavlad/nohang/blob/v0.2.0/conf/nohang/nohang.conf.in#L189C5-L189C66

Edit the section 7. Customize victim selection: adjusting badness of processes in /etc/nohang/nohang.conf.

For example, prevent the termination of processes containing fooservice in the cgroup2 path:

@BADNESS_ADJ_RE_CGROUP_V2  -1000 /// fooservice

The same by name:

@BADNESS_ADJ_RE_NAME -1000 /// fooname

The configuration file contains examples. Just add the appropriate line to the configuration file and restart nohang.service.

thanks @hakavlad so is this the right format if I wanted to exclude the calibre tool?

@BADNESS_ADJ_RE_NAME -1000 /// calibre

Also, what does -1000 do?

Maybe not. For example, on my Debian, its name is GUIPool:

$ oom-sort -l40
oom_score oom_score_adj   UID     PID Name            VmRSS   VmSwap   cmdline
