Well, on an 8GB box doing a "mtest -m1000 -r0 -w12" (ie. create 1GB heap and fork off 12 writer sub-processes touching the heap at random), I get a complete lockup just after the system goes into swap. At one point I was able to capture an EIP trace showing the kernel looping in stext_lock and try_to_swap_out. --Stephen -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
