The hard part will be testing this. I'm not sure I have the HW
in-house to do it. I may need illumos community help.
Since we have a test environment where we can reproduce this and a
high interest in seeing it fixed, we can test new kernel packages
and so on.
(If given specific
I managed to get my system in a state with dd test across a bunch of
client nodes (4k writes, many nodes in parallel, all to the same file -- by
mistake, I meant to do many files), that all of the ttys except for
/dev/console are stuck. It was showing signs of desparation swapping a few
times, but
Yes, absolutely. We've run into this same problem, exactly as you
describe, in Solaris10 (all versions)
You can catch it with a kernel dump, but you have to be wary and quick.
keep a vmstat 3 open (or similar), and when free mem drops below 5GB or
so, be ready. As soon you start seeing PO or
We now have a reproducable setup with OmniOS r151014 where an OmniOS
NFS fileserver will experience memory exhaustion and then hang in the
kernel if it receives sustained NFS write traffic from multiple clients
at a rate faster than its local disks can sustain. The machine will run
