caribouHello, is allocated hugetlb pages accounted for in the outpu of free ?10:01
apwcaribou, i would expect it to be10:05
caribouapw: that's what I thought10:05
caribouapw: got two kernel panics caused by OOM; 118 Gb of memory is blocked by hugepages out of 125Gb10:06
apwcaribou, hmmm, what kernel version is that ?11:24
caribouapw: 4.4.0-34-generic #53~14.04.1-Ubuntu11:43
apwcaribou, i've not heard of anything like that, but it would be worth checking the reserves to see how much is being held 12:07
caribouapw: I'm reading the code to understand what parameters triggers the OOM12:09
argescaribou: who allocated and locked the hugepages?12:15
caribouarges: they're used for QEMU & OpenVswitch12:16
caribouarges: they leave 8Gb out of 125Gb for the O/S & the rest goes to hugepages; my suspiscion is that they were close to the OOM threshold & something came in to push them over the edge12:17
caribousince the OOM threshold is calculated on the basis of 125Gb12:18
argescaribou: did you get a crash dump and use kmem12:19
argesdid you/ were you able to12:19
caribouarges: yep, go two of them & waiting for another one from a stable system12:20
caribouarges: oh, & I found something funny : an 'lshw' process using 650Mb of RSS, stucked in doing do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page12:21
argesmaybe there are a lot of pages : )12:21

smoserhey. i need some help. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/161857215:09
ubot5Launchpad bug 1618572 in linux (Ubuntu) "cloud-init failing to configure sources and additional repository" [Undecided,Incomplete]15:09
smoserit appears to me that this is regression in overlayfs coming in xenial kernel15:10
apwsmoser, what makes you think it is the overlayfs ?15:10
_ami_wow, finally someone speaks! 15:14
smoserapw, i do.15:18
smoseri could not reproduce it on a simple overlay mount15:19
smoserbut i cuold reproduce it in 2 ways (apt-key add and a python program)15:19
smoseri started with a trusty system15:20
smoserand installed each of the linux-virtual-lts-utopic kernels, booted into them with overlay root and tried recreate15:21
smoserthe failure starts in xenial kernel i'm pretty sure.15:21
smoserapw, if you need more info on how to recreate i can put it together.15:22
tdaitxapw, infinity: hey there! it seems the linux powerpc/ppc64el asm/ioctls.h is missing a include for asm-generic/ioctls.h (it's there for the other archs)15:43
tdaitxand I just noticed that the same happens for termbits.h15:44
