I am having trouble with my compute node that nova-compute and ovs process are being killed by OOM. I have alot memory available in system.

# free -g
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           1006         121         881           0           2         879
Swap:             7           0           7

But I am seeing process are being killed in dmesg.

Any advice on how to fix this ? Also any best practices document on configuring memory optimizations in nova compute node.
