Hi,

The problem is probably somwhere between pg and linux.
Seems like OOM killer on rocky linux behaves in a different way
than on RHEL.

For OOM killer invoking I used:
set work_mem=50GB;
select * from generate_series(1,100000000) order by random();

pg runs as systemd service.

Example 1:
==========
pg 15.2
o/s Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)

pg log:

Example 2:

pg 15.2
o/s Rocky Linux release 9.2 (Blue Onyx)

Instance received fast shutdown request.
And kernel sends kill twice: process 2575533, process 2517203.

Googeling this problem gives me nothing, and i'm not sure,
is it caused of pg or linux kernel.
