That's a nice little box killer you have there.
With mem=4G, running bigmm -i 5 -t 2 -c 1024:
2.4.19: Ran for a few minutes, got slower and slower and eventually stopped. kupdate had taken 30 seconds CPU and all CPUs were spinning in shrink_cache(). Had to reset.
2.4.20-pre8-ac1: Ran for a minute, froze up for a couple of minutes then recovered and remained comfortable.
2.5.44-mm5: had a few 0.5-second stalls in vmstat output, no other problems.
It's probably the list search failure, but I can't say for sure at this time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
