Hi,
Summary: I seem to have some odd problems with swap on my machine, swap
seems to deadlock the box, if enabled.
About the machine:
AMD64 X2, 3GB memory, SATA raid5 array using XFS as root fs.
SATA controllers: sata_nv(4 disks) and sata_sil24(1 disk)
Kernels involved in testing: 2.16(|.1|-git15).
GCC 4.1.0 (Yes, i play chicken with compilers)
(since it's gentoo: CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe")
Lengthier information and explanation:
A long time ago i ceased the opportunity and got a AMD64 box, compiled
gentoo for AMD64 (this was when other 64 bit distributions was still in
beta). After a while i noticed that 64 bit userland consumes more memory
so i got 'some more' =).
I had already had a sata disk fail on me when my root disk started to
fail, so i opted for putting the root on a raid, since raid6 seemed a
bit to experimental i opted for raid5, =).
And to continue it all, i have been using reiserfs since 2.4.x-testX
kernels, and i have really liked it... Although the initial versions
with unordered logs could ruin files =)... But reading filesystem
benchmarks etc etc and talking to friends led me to want to test XFS
which seems to work ok, although slower than reiserfs on aprox the same
machine.<rant>And reiserfsck works on a ro filesystem</rant>.
I started to test sky2 drivers and had all kinds of odd problems when i
switched to X2, some are related to the chipset overheating (passive
cooling a nf4 pcie chipset is hard). But i am atm using forcedeth so i
can get a stable system first and then test the sky2 driver some more
(forcedeth works just fine on simular boxes).
After a while i got some oopses, one of which made me suspect swap...
My swap layout: one part per disk, 5 disks, each part is about 512MB.
I, at first, reformatted them several times and checked the partitions
for bad blocks but nothing was found. Then i stopped using them with the
same priority in fear of it was that that went wrong but during one of
the tests (10+h up running distcc jobs and then starting swap lead to a
deadlock within 15 mins) i started to wonder if something else was
wrong. I have never had the energy to perform a full memtext86+ but all
the memory errors i have found on other boxes has revealed themselves
quicker.
Here is the only logged crash:
