Message-ID: <45636CC7.4000600@telefonica.de> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com Hi! Seems we're facing some memory leak here. This is vanilla 2.6.19-rc6 on a x86_64 box, 4GB RAM. A simple `ls -Rn' on a filesystem with lots of files makes the box leak so much RAM that the OOM killer starts to kick in. With slab alloc debugging turned on, we see this: # mount; ls -Rn; wait some seconds; Ctrl-C [root@lnxp-1038:/backend1]$ cat /proc/slab_allocators | egrep '(size.512|ocfs2_inode_cache)' | grep ocfs | sort -k 2 -n size-512: 1 o2hb_heartbeat_group_make_item+0x1b/0x79 [ocfs2_nodemanager] size-512: 1 o2hb_map_slot_data+0x22/0x2fa [ocfs2_nodemanager] size-512: 1 ocfs2_initialize_super+0x55e/0xd7f [ocfs2] size-512: 26439 ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock+0x2d1/0x423 [ocfs2] ocfs2_inode_cache: 26450 ocfs2_alloc_inode+0x13/0x29 [ocfs2] size-512: 52879 dlm_new_lockres+0x22/0x189 [ocfs2_dlm] # Clear caches [root@lnxp-1038:/mail/store/backend1]$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [root@lnxp-1038:/mail/store/backend1]$ echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [root@lnxp-1038:/backend1]$ cat /proc/slab_allocators | egrep '(size.512|ocfs2_inode_cache)' | grep ocfs | sort -k 2 -n size-512: 1 o2hb_heartbeat_group_make_item+0x1b/0x79 [ocfs2_nodemanager] size-512: 1 o2hb_map_slot_data+0x22/0x2fa [ocfs2_nodemanager] size-512: 1 ocfs2_initialize_super+0x55e/0xd7f [ocfs2] size-512: 9 ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock+0x2d1/0x423 [ocfs2] ocfs2_inode_cache: 20 ocfs2_alloc_inode+0x13/0x29 [ocfs2] size-512: 52379 dlm_new_lockres+0x22/0x189 [ocfs2_dlm] Anything known about this?
