Hi all,we experience a lot of threads segfaulting with our Apaches. There are about 300 dying threads per day. The error in syslog is the following:
Apr 16 23:51:41 foo-bar kernel: httpd[24629]: segfault at 00007fffae529f98 rip 00002b2ffd6408b7 rsp 00007fffae529ea0 error 6
I wish I could give you some kind of trace or core file. But we don't get a core file since only threads die and not the root-process. I also tried to strace the Apache but this slowed the server down too much. And the error appears only on the live system with a very high load. Any ideas welcome here.
At the same time we get broken TCP packets with a wrong window size which looks like this:
Apr 17 00:14:17 foo-bar kernel: TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer 84.175.98.78:2637/80 shrinks window 1785243455:1785255071. Repaired.
The information I found on the net are very contradictory, so I can't estimate the impact on the system.
The box is used for dynamic webpages on PHP. Below are some system information. Sorry, this is not very much information but I'm still at the beginning of my Apache leraning curve.
