Subject: xfs_inode not reclaimed/memory leak on 5.2.16
Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2019 09:28:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pnji8cpw.fsf@mid.deneb.enyo.de> (raw)

Simply running “du -hc” on a large directory tree causes du to be
killed because of kernel paging request failure in the XFS code.

I ran slabtop, and it showed tons of xfs_inode objects.

The system was rather unhappy after that, so I wasn't able to capture
much more information.

Is this a known issue on Linux 5.2?  I don't see it with kernel
5.0.20.  Those are plain upstream kernels built for x86-64, with no
unusual config options (that I know of).
