Hi, Using GFS on RHEL4 (kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp) i got a crash with it. Before in the dmesg, there is some OOM-Killer activity with httpd. It seems to get something to do with the HIGHMEM and the 4GB of RAM. It looks like the OOM killer keep the pages still dirty until the physical RAM filled (but i am pretty sure i can get wrong about that, i don't really know how works the OOM-Killer theses days). So i am not sure what's trigering the crash, is it because of the OOM killer or because of GFS. Here is the crash of GFS : ,---- | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: 6810 en punlock 7,4034f6 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: 6810 ex punlock -2 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: lock_dlm: Assertion failed on line 357 of file /usr/src/build/678343-i686/BUILD/gfs-kernel-2.6.9-45/smp/src/dlm/lock.c | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: lock_dlm: assertion: "!error" | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: lock_dlm: time = 2296932048 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: matrix: error=-22 num=2,6b66f lkf=10000 flags=84 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: kernel BUG at /usr/src/build/678343-i686/BUILD/gfs-kernel-2.6.9-45/smp/src/dlm/lock.c:357! | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: invalid operand: 0000 [#3] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: SMP | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: Modules linked in: iptable_nat ip_conntrack iptable_filter ip_tables lock_dlm(U) dlm(U) gfs(U) lock_harness(U) cman(U) nls_utf8 loop autofs4 md5 ipv6 microcode dm_mirror dm_mod button battery ac uhci_hcd ehci_hcd hw_random e100 mii tg3 floppy ext3 | jbd cciss sd_mod scsi_mod | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: CPU: 2 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: EIP: 0060:[<f89e65f3>] Not tainted VLI | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: EFLAGS: 00010246 (2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp) | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: EIP is at do_dlm_unlock+0x8b/0xa0 [lock_dlm] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: eax: 00000001 ebx: f2afea80 ecx: f3c8bf2c edx: f89eb175 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: esi: ffffffea edi: f2afea80 ebp: f89bf000 esp: f3c8bf28 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: Process gfs_glockd (pid: 5950, threadinfo=f3c8b000 task=f65a2eb0) | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: Stack: f89eb175 f89bf000 00000003 f89e6893 f8abc5ee 00000001 d9d85314 d9d852f8 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: f8ab2892 f8ae7580 cae61980 d9d852f8 f8ae7580 d9d852f8 f8ab1d8b d9d852f8 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: 00000001 d9d8538c f8ab1e42 d9d852f8 d9d85314 f8ab1f65 00000001 d9d85314 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: Call Trace: | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<f89e6893>] lm_dlm_unlock+0x14/0x1c [lock_dlm] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<f8abc5ee>] gfs_lm_unlock+0x2c/0x42 [gfs] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<f8ab2892>] gfs_glock_drop_th+0xf3/0x12d [gfs] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<f8ab1d8b>] rq_demote+0x7f/0x98 [gfs] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<f8ab1e42>] run_queue+0x5a/0xc1 [gfs] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<f8ab1f65>] unlock_on_glock+0x1f/0x28 [gfs] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<f8ab3ec9>] gfs_reclaim_glock+0xc3/0x13c [gfs] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<f8aa6e05>] gfs_glockd+0x39/0xde [gfs] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<c011e45f>] default_wake_function+0x0/0xc | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<c02d129e>] ret_from_fork+0x6/0x14 | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<c011e45f>] default_wake_function+0x0/0xc | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<f8aa6dcc>] gfs_glockd+0x0/0xde [gfs] | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: [<c01041f1>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb | Feb 20 02:29:38 www01 kernel: Code: 73 34 8b 03 ff 73 2c ff 73 08 ff 73 04 ff 73 0c 56 ff 70 18 68 6d b2 9e f8 e8 5c bc 73 c7 83 c4 34 68 75 b1 9e f8 e8 4f bc 73 c7 <0f> 0b 65 01 b2 b0 9e f8 68 77 b1 9e f8 e8 0a b4 73 c7 5b 5e c3 `---- And here is one of the OOM-Killer cleanup stuff : ,---- | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: cpu 0 hot: low 32, high 96, batch 16 | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: cpu 0 cold: low 0, high 32, batch 16 | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: cpu 1 hot: low 32, high 96, batch 16 | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: cpu 1 cold: low 0, high 32, batch 16 | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: cpu 2 hot: low 32, high 96, batch 16 | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: cpu 2 cold: low 0, high 32, batch 16 | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: cpu 3 hot: low 32, high 96, batch 16 | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: cpu 3 cold: low 0, high 32, batch 16 | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: Free pages: 75308kB (62400kB HighMem) | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: Active:622325 inactive:354228 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:18827 slab:19992 mapped:976121 pagetables:2922 | Feb 20 02:29:36 www01 kernel: DMA free:12588kB min:16kB low:32kB high:48kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present:16384kB pages_scanned:15087 all_unreclaimable?
