Subject: [BUG] generic/224 causes OOM and hangs 1G RAM system
Date: Tue, 24 Dec 2013 14:36:27 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <52B92B6B.1030204@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

Hi everyone,

When using testcase generic/224 in xfstests on a 1Gigabytes RAM test
machine,
OOM is triggered after about 5 sec and then hangs the system.

This bug can be triggered *all the time* but only on 1Gigabytes or less RAM
machine.
If tested on a 2Gigabytes or higher machine, the memory consumption is high,
but OOM will not be triggered and after the testcase, memory consumption
will
return normal.

So this is not a memory leak but a ridiculous btrfs behavior.

Since systems with 1Gigabytes are not quite old and even very common in
VMs or
embedded devices, it would be better to fix the ridiculous memory
consuption.

Thanks,
Qu
