Subject2.6.34-rc3: simple du (on a big xfs tree) triggers oom killer
Date
[Sorry for the cross post, but I don't know where to start to tackle this 
issue]

Hi,

on an attempt to get to a current kernel, I suffer from an issue, where a
simple du on a reasonably big xfs tree leads to invoking the oom killer:

The oom-killer got triggered around the line with 308011 context switches.
Needless to say, this event renders this system dysfunctional.

Sorry for the insanely long lines, but wrapping them to a sane width results
in an unparseable mess. This kernel is closest to upstream, that I was able
to produce, built in Novell build service, available here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/frispete:/kernel-head/openSUSE_11.1/
As you can see, userspace is openSUSE 11.1, arch is i586, based on vanilla
built of rc3 with Linus' git tree applied up to 5e11611a5d22252f3f9c169a3c9377eac0c32033.
I have reproduced this issue also with 2.6.33.1. Usually, I run the openSUSE
customized kernels, e.g. kernel-pae-2.6.27.45-0.1.1 doesn't show this issue.

boot.msg: ftp://urpla.net/boot.msg
config: ftp://urpla.net/vanilla

I do use some unusual vm settings, as documented in boot.msg, but that should
not result in this issue, does it?

Hardware: Xeon X3460, Asus P7F-E motherboard, Intel 3420 PCH chipset, 12 GB Mem

In case, you wonder, why I drove that test with a 4GB memory setup: that was
the easiest way to demonstrate the problem without resorting to tainted and
heavy customized kernels. And for compatibility reasons (customer support),
I have to stay at i586 for the moment.

Of course, the du command does succeed with the distributed kernel with exactly
the same (userspace and sysctl) settings:
1,1T /backup/daily.0

Anybody with an idea, what's going on here?

TIA,
Pete
