RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dave Maley 2010-11-22 22:34:52 UTC
Description of problem:
the current method to determine KMEMINUSE (slab value from /proc/meminfo) is not accurate and leads to unnecessary warnings during service startup.

The kdump firstboot module uses this same method.  As noted in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608683#c10
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608683#c11

..work is already being done to improve the calculation in firstboot.  I'm opening this bug to ensure this same fix is also included in the init script.

note: feel free to close as a duplicate to bug 608683 if deemed appropriate.

Comment 2 Neil Horman 2010-11-23 11:50:55 UTC
That measurement is the best we can do at the moment.  its better to estimate conservatively here.  We're planning on improving this for 6.1 with bz 608683
