It looks promising! (I'm knocking on all the wood everywhere,
though.)
I'm ready to call this conclusive. The problems I was having across
the
board seemed to be caused by something seriously broken in 3.18.
Most
of my servers are now on 4.9.13 or newer and everything has been
working
very well.
I'm not going to post any further updates unless something breaks.
Thanks to everyone that provided tips and suggestions along the way.
Do you mind sharing what hardware have you been running the 4.9
kernel on other than "Supermicro X9DRT, Dual Xeon E5-2650, 2x I350,
2x 82571EB" and
"Supermicro X9DRD-iF/LF, Dual Xeon E5-2630, 2x I350, 2x 82575EB" if
any? Are you using any SATA/SAS controllers?
We have no expansion cards installed except for the dual-port gigabit
NICs. We're using the onboard SATA controller for only the local Dom0
OS, and iSCSI and NFS for managing storage for VMs and images.
We've got some other motherboards as well, I think this list is
exhaustive:
Supermicro X8DT3
Supermicro X8DT6
Supermicro X9DRD-iF/LF
Supermicro X9DRT
Supermicro X9SCL/X9SCM
These are -F variants which means they include a BMC chip with a
separate NIC. A few of the X8DT3 are the LN4 variant, which has 4
onboard NICs and therefore we did not use an expansion NIC.
FYI,
Here's one of our machines, which just crapped itself earlier today
without being subjected to any significant load. Before the crash it was
running kernel-3.18.44-20.el6.x86_64, now it's on
kernel-4.9.13-22.el6.x86_64:
- Dell PowerEdge R620
- 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v2 @ 2.60GHz, 6 cores each
- Dual Intel 10-Gigabit X540-AT2 (rev 01)
Before the crash both em interfaces member of bond1, which connects to
the storage network, had tx & rx checksumming turned off.
xen_commandline: dom0_mem=1536M,max:2048M dom0_max_vcpus=1
dom0_vcpus_pin cpuinfo com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,tty loglvl=all
