            Bug ID: 175100
           Summary: [Linux] JSTests/wasm/stress/oom.js should not run on
                    Linux
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The JSC test JSTests/wasm/stress/oom.js seems to be specifically designed to try to use all the available memory until an out of memory exception happens.

Trying to do something like that on Linux is not fine, as Linux handles very badly out of memory situations. In the best case the system will freeze during several seconds and in the worst case it may be several minutes until it starts responding back.

We should try to avoid running tests like this on Linux.
