--- Additional comment from adas on 2007-06-22 12:00:16 EDT ---

It looks like you're hitting a page allocation failure in the kernel. You might
be running out of memory. A gfs tunable 'lockdump_size' determines the minimum
amount of kernel memory requested with each 'gfs_tool getXXX' command. The
default is 32 pages (131072 bytes). I don't know if this is set very high on
your system. Do a 'gfs_tool gettune /gfs/mount/point | grep lockdump_size' to
get the current setting. You can set it to a lower value using 'gfs_tool settune
/gfs/mount/point lockdump_size 16384' or something. See if that helps.

--- Additional comment from adas on 2007-06-22 13:27:31 EDT ---

Oops. I'm sorry, I was wrong about the minimum amount of kernel memory
requested. The default is 32 pages, but it's _not_ the minimum. If you do a
'gfs_tool counters' , you only request 4096 bytes, so your machine must be
really out of memory. I don't think changing the lockdump_size is going to help you.

--- Additional comment from anandab on 2007-06-22 14:15:49 EDT ---

The output of the gfs_tool commad is 
gfs_tool gettune /mts/dbc2 | grep lockdump
lockdump_size = 131072

I also have my drop_count set to 0. 

The machine has 16GB of memory, does the error have something to do with a large
drop_count setting?

The memory is *very* fragemented based on the memory output. Any kmalloc
size >= 64K will most likely fail, even the system still has large amount
of memory inside smaller slab cache buckets:

Normal: 23724*4kB 12497*8kB 1235*16kB 75*32kB
0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 217032kB

This is a known linux VMM design issue. For newer 2.6 based kernel, 
there is command allowing you to purge slab cache. For RHEL 4 (2.6.9
base), we're out of luck here. Hopefully "umount", then "remount" could
alleviate the symptoms but there is no guarantee. 

If this is a repeated GFS issue, GFS RHEL 4.5-base RPM has a glock trimming 
patch that would allow you to trim glock percentage (that will subsequently
return GFS slab cache back to the central pool). Give it a try to see whether 
it will help: 

shell> gfs_tool settune /mnt/gfs1 glock_purge 30 

(this will purge 30% of glock back to centrol pool on a 5 second interval).

--- Additional comment from adas on 2007-06-22 15:28:32 EDT ---

Ok... take a look at bug 229461
Without this fix, you're still looking at allocating 64K of contiguous kernel
memory which might not be available in all cases.
There're still places in the gfs_tool code that request 64K for various ioctl
calls. I'm gonna take a look at those and commit fixes.

Wendy:I am using dlm not glock. But your analysis was great and i seems to fit
the prolems we are seeing.

Abhijith:Will you be providing instructions for getting the updates?


--- Additional comment from wcheng on 2007-06-22 17:14:32 EDT ---

Fixing gfs_tool to use smaller buffer (but takes longer time to complete)
is a good thing to do. However, when a system has fragemented memory like 
that, the general performance would be bad. VM tuning knowledge and tools
are a must for system adminitrators. In simple words, when gfs_tool lock
dump (that takes less buffer) is fixed, your problem will be shifted to 
other parts of the system, Certain level of VM tuning should be required
to avoid getting system into this state.

GFS "glock" component calls DLM to carry out inter-node locking. There are
one-to-one correspondences between glock and dlm lock. When glocks start to
accumulate to an unacceptable level, so do dlm locks.


--- Additional comment from wcheng on 2007-06-22 17:22:01 EDT ---

Actually it is interesting to read the glock and dlm comments :) .. Aware
that GFS actually uses "glock" to do locking (and then glock calls DLM) ?

--- Additional comment from swhiteho on 2008-12-10 10:52:27 EDT ---

The simple fix for this looks like using vmalloc rather than kmalloc. Abhi, was this fixed in the end? If so please close this bug.

--- Additional comment from swhiteho on 2009-01-09 09:19:44 EDT ---

Abhi, please can you turn this allocation into a vmalloc and do the same for 5.4 & upstream too? Its a simple fix and the current code is too ghastly for words.

Comment 1 Steve Whitehouse 2009-06-05 07:39:24 UTC

Abhi, can you take a look at this one please. It should be trivial to fix and we ought to do it for 5.4

Comment 2 Abhijith Das 2009-06-08 01:20:06 UTC

Checked the patch to change kmalloc to vmalloc in gi_skeleton (ioctl.c) into RHEL5, RHEL54, STABLE2, STABLE3 and master.
