Strange behavior during the zconfig.sh test on debian lenny with 2.6.32 kernel #22

Hi.

I re-installed SPL and ZFS on a clean machine to be sure there was no issue I missed.

And I get a strange behavior during the ZVOL Sanity test.

After the fresh compilation and installation of SPL and ZFS, the mkfs.ext3 command is hanging, and the only way I have to resolve this problem, is reboot the machine.

After a reboot, I can start again the zconfig.sh script, and the tests are working well.

Here is the syslog part : http://paste.davromaniak.eu/pastebin.php?show=m3fe8f8e6

The log of the mkfs.ext3 command : http://paste.davromaniak.eu/pastebin.php?show=m5fd28b0c

It's running for 40 minutes now, and if I reboot the machine, the full test will run with no error.

Also, there is no disk access now (there was some disk access at the beginning of the mkfs.ext3 command).

This is a strange behavior from the system, and I don't actually know which part of the system is affected.

Thanks.

This sounds very much like issue #21 which has been observed under Fedora. The ZFS code is stuck trying to allocate memory, this is a bit of a known soft spot I hope to address in the next tag. In the meanwhile try setting the zfs primarycache to metadata like this, this should mitigate the memory issue.

zfs set primarycache=metadata

Ok.

Thanks, it's working.

I created a patch, which can be used in future installations :

Glad to hear that worked for you. I'll make this the default for zvols in the next tag until I can come up with a clean way to disable the Linux block device caching.

Using zfs with Lustre, an arc_read can trigger kernel memory allocation
that in turn leads to a memory reclaim callback and a deadlock within a
single zfs process. This change uses spl_fstrans_mark and
spl_trans_unmark to prevent the reclaim attempt and the deadlock
(https://zfsonlinux.topicbox.com/groups/zfs-devel/T4db2c705ec1804ba).
