Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 09:26:29 +0300 From: Michael Raskin <a1d23ab4@...l.ru> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: 2.6.19-rc1-mm1+ memory problem Short description: when X is loaded (maybe any heavy application is sufficient, but I don't use anything heavy in console), 'free' says used memory is growing. Keywords: memory. Kernel: built locally, gcc 4.0.3 I have a strange problem with 2.6.19-rc-mm kernels. After I load X, I notice that memory is marked used at rate of tens of KB/s. Then it starts to swap very heavily, when physical memory is all used. I tried to verify it - it is so with all -mm kernels after 2.6.19-rc1-mm1, including 2.6.19-rc5-mm2. At the meantime everything works OK with kernels 2.6.18-mm3 and 2.6.19-rc1 through 2.6.19-rc6. I do not see any options that should be memory eating in my .config . Module list is short enough to include inline. When I just run some things like periodical suck, oops proxy server etc with X shut down, I do not notice "leak" from console because of small fluctuations of memory use. When I run X and shut it down, used memory count goes up a few megs (consistent with speed of eating it by X). I didn't find exactly this problem in lkml or www, though the problem with OOM on 2.6.19-rc-mm seems similar. What should I check to fix problem or produce a useful bug report? /etc/sysconfig/modules: ehci-hcd, usb-storage, usbhid, ipaq, i915 Now loaded in 2.6.19-rc6: i915, drm, ipaq, usbserial, usbhid, usb_storage, libusual, ehci_hcd, usbcore Main configuration options: http://bigtip.narod.ru/temp/xorg.conf.txt http://bigtip.narod.ru/temp/config-2.6.19-rc2-mm5-swsusp-my-1.txt http://bigtip.narod.ru/temp/lspci.txt Drivers: http://bigtip.narod.ru/temp/ioports.txt http://bigtip.narod.ru/temp/iomem.txt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
