hi, I have noticed that when using rsync inside a vm to copy some files between 2 disks the kvm process ram usage increases constantly and even causes the process to be killed by the oom killer even though the ram usage inside the vm doesn't go over 2GB

the oom might be because I assigned too much ram to the vm but what I want to understand is why the kvm process is using that much ram even though the vm itself is not using it
