I am running as a VMware guest. OpenBSD 5.1 GENERIC#181 amd64 amd64
dmesg says it is: cpu0: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz, 2399.73 MHz I also periodically had same following issue on same system with OpenBSD 5.0. I have various socket unit tests that are ran numerous times a week. After a few days of running, one of our tests doing a setsockopt to increase a send buffer size fails with "No buffer space available". Once this happens, I can't find anyway to recover other than rebooting. I also can't firgure out the trigger for problem but over time the problem happens. It may happen after one day or after a couple weeks. When we reboot the problem goes away. We have repeated this. But don't know what causes it. This problem has been going on for months. We reboot periodically due to it. A simple program to show the problem is at: http://git.bind10.isc.org/~jreed/sndbuf.cc For example: $ ftp http://git.bind10.isc.org/~jreed/sndbuf.cc Trying 149.20.48.84... Requesting http://git.bind10.isc.org/~jreed/sndbuf.cc 100% |**************************************************| 1538 00:00 1538 bytes received in 0.00 seconds (1.97 MB/s) $ less sndbuf.cc $ g++ -o sndbuf sndbuf.cc $ ./sndbuf current send buf size: 9216 failed to increase sendbuf size: 9217: No buffer space available I see some operating systems have a resource limit, like RLIMIT_SBSIZE, that can limit it. I don't see that for OpenBSD. It is acting like the net.inet.udp.sendspace sysctl is the limit. When I raise net.inet.udp.sendspace, the current send buf size and attempt (using the code above) increases. $ sysctl net.inet.udp.sendspace net.inet.udp.sendspace=9216 When I reboot, the sample code does not fail (until sometime later). setsockopt(2) says "The system places an absolute limit on these values." Where is this documented further? I am looking at sbcheckreserve and sbchecklowmem in src/sys/kern/uipc_socket2.c. What does sbchecklowmem() return if between the two limits? (Can that condition occur?) My vmstat -m output is at http://git.bind10.isc.org/~jreed/vmstat.out.20120625.txt Do you have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further? The system as of now has not been rebooted, so if there anything you would like me to test or details to provide, please let me know. Thank you, Jeremy C.
