About earlyoom

From Debian's package description

Earlyoom is an userspace OOM-killer which can avoid the system to get into unresponsive state caused by swapping, which is most likely to occur when a large swap is present and memory is tight. It checks the amount of available memory and swap periodically, and when both are below a preconfigured value, it kills the largest process.

From Debian's description of the earlyoom package, under that package's license.
