Narrowed it down to 100% reproducible case:
chown -Rc 0:<n> .
in a top directory of tree containing ~21938 files on reiser3 partition:
/dev/sdc3 on /.3 type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
causes oom kill storm. "ls -lR", "find ." etc work fine.
I suspected that it is a leak in winbindd libnss module, but chown does not seem to grow larger in top, and also running it under softlimit -m 400000 still causes oom kills while chown's RSS stays below 4MB. -- vda - 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/
