Subject: linux 2.2.18pre17 + VM-global -7 = `Negative d_count' oops

I've been having apparently VM-related `pauses' with 2.2.17 [1], so I
thought I'd try 2.2.18pre17 with that patch. The results weren't
good: I get many instances of

Negative d_count (-805538369) for [binary garbage]/<NULL>

followed by an oops. Kernel logfile extract below, uuencoded.

I'm sure I'd be able to reproduce this, but I'd rather not because
this is a production system. ver_linux reports:

It might be relevant that a large part of the system's job is to be a
shell account server, and users log in with a variety of mechanisms,
most often OpenSSH (Debian 1.2.3-9). I've not had any reports from
users about sessions randomly dropping, which I might have expected;
however, I did have a number of background cron jobs die in very
strange ways suggesting killing of processes at random.

The system as a whole is largely Debian 2.2, and has 256Mb of RAM and
about 400Mb of swap. It usually runs with about 50-100Mb of swap used
and at a load of somewhere around 1ish during busy periods.


[1] VM lockup problem:

I believe that this is a known problem with the 2.2.x VM ? The
symptoms I have are that under reasonably high but not excessive VM
and/or disk load, the system will freeze for around 10-15 minutes.
Most often this seems to have beeen provoked by a moderately large
(20Mb or so) Emacs doing an auto-save during an otherwise-busy time.

During the lockup network packets are processed - pings receive
replies, and TCP connection attempts succeed, but there is no evidence
of any user-mode executing. After the lockup the system apparently
just resumes where it left off. Sometimes afterwards there is a
message like `VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for emacs...' but more
often there isn't.


Thanks for your attention,

Ian.

Thanks for the feedback.

The oops is forced by the kernel after it sees then wrong negative d_count.

I'd say it's memory corruption, but it doesn't look like a memory bitflip.

I'm almost certain that it's not caused by the VM-global patch.

Which device driver and compiler are you using?

I've enclosed a copy of `.config' from the 2.2.18pre17+VM-global.

I forgot to mention, and it might be relevant (given that the oops is
in `hung_up_tty_read'), that I'm using a VPN system of my own devising
which gets packets in and out of the kernel by using `slattach' on
pty's; it has no nonstandard kernel component, but probably has some
unusual pty handling behaviour. If you really want to look at what it
does, the source is on ftp.chiark.greenend.org.uk in ipif/service.c
inside /users/ian/userv/userv-utils-0.2.0.tar.gz.
