I got it to reproduce as well now. Not sure why how it worked before, probably a race condition between lkl initialization and fuse calls. > It's working fine on light workloads, but I'm having issues when I start > trying to stress it.

For the short term I can add a parameter to lklfuse that allows the user to specify the amount of memory to allocate to lkl. A better fix would probably be to dynamically adjust the memory size of lkl. I am thinking of using the ballon virtio driver or the memory hotplug infrastructure. Any other suggestions? I created a couple of issues in github [1] that you can track if you want - I want to avoid spamming the list with reporting progress on them.
