Kernel version: 2.0.35
net: 16 Mb Token-Ring
driver: Olicom 3137 PCI
environment: 10 NT clients continuously reading from mounted
volumes on a Linux-Server w/100MHZ Pentium and 32MB.
Problem: Server lock-up after 10-15 hours of
extremely heavy use in a repeatable test environment Added
show_mem
calls every 1000 RX ints and the problem goes away. I suspected a memory
leak, but I need the show_mem
to prove it. I have changed the show_mems to once every 10000 RX ints and
added counts for kmalloc and
kfree and display each also once every 10000. Still no leak seen, but free
swapfile is shrinking slowly, about
1 MB per hour.
Error messages in messages file:
1) kfree of non-kmalloced memory
2) unable to handle kernel paging request
Any help or suggestions would be much
appreciated.
