From the
systemd.exec(5)
man page:The out-of-memory killer in the kernel can easily kill the usbguard-daemon for example when unauthorized process creates many small processes, which causes the OOM algorithm to see usbguard-daemon as the best candidate to be killed, instead of aiming
at some of those unprivileged processes. I have not seen an example of this in practice, but I think it would be good to include.
