Hi there,
Has anyone noticed very high size-32 allocations in Asterisk servers
with Digium hardware installed? Here is output from /proc/slabinfo:
size-32 23763586 23763586 32 119 1 : tunables 120
60 0 : slabdata 199694 199694 0
Here is the summary and first few rows from slabtop:
Active / Total Objects (% used) : 23850372 / 23890412 (99.8%)
Active / Total Slabs (% used) : 204139 / 204139 (100.0%)
Active / Total Caches (% used) : 95 / 134 (70.9%)
Active / Total Size (% used) : 756630.62K / 760089.77K (99.5%)
Minimum / Average / Maximum Object : 0.01K / 0.03K / 128.00K
OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME

256 256 100% 3.00K 128 2 1024K biovec-(256)
As you can see, almost 800MB of memory on this box is taken up with
size-32 pages.
This particular server is a single CPU box running Asterisk 1.2.5 and
Zaptel 1.2.4 on RHEL4 and is a low-use, test box. Our two production
boxes are dual 3.4GHz Xeons running Asterisk 1.2.1 and Zaptel 1.2.1 on
RHEL4 SMP and exhibit the same issue (it was running into oom-killer
problems with low LOWMEM on one of them that triggered all of this).
Interestingly, we have an identical server to our test server that does
not have Asterisk or Zaptel installed, and it does not display this
issue.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? What does your slabtop look
like?
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Regards,
