Hello!
My G4 mac running OpenBSD 4.3 hung today with the following message
in
dmesg:
deadlock detected!
pagedaemon: deadlock detected!
The above repeated several times.
I have tried looking in the log files for some explanation but I
haven't
found any clue myself.
Maybe someone here could guide me in the right direction or knows
what
happened based on the attached dmesg and /var/log/messages
simplified:
It means the kernel run out of memory. When it is low on memory, the
pagedaemon
wakes up and tries to move pages to swap and other things.
If in the process of doing that, the kernel really runs out of
memory, it will
start to wake itself up, basically looping around the pagedaemon to
get
some memory to free more memory...
The message tells you that it detected this situation and "hopes"
that one
of your processes gives up and releases some. Usually however that
doesn't happen ;)
Update to 4.4+patches (not just release, there's an important fix you
want...).
