Sure Joseph, in progress. I have the 3.9 kernel you referenced now running my tests on my 12.04 system. Its so far behaving normally, it will likely take a few days to know whether there is any difference as far as the "hang" is concerned.
Just for the record, I had previously tested with: linux- image-3.5.0-21-generic_3.5.0-21.32~precise1_amd64.deb and the hang failure could still be seen with that kernel. I had not checked my records when I submitted this bug, so had forgotten. I could possibly have entitled this bug as 3.5.0-21 or earlier fail, but was focused on using one of the regularly distributed kernels to test/reproduce the failure for you folks. I had also tested with: linux-image-3.8.0-0-generic_3.8.0-0.3_amd64.deb. On that system the hang did not occur BUT for some reason it also appeared to be the case that my loading tests were not "pushing" the system as hard either. So I figured some mismatch between that kernel and precise was the cause and that this 3.8 test was inconclusive. Your 3.9 kernel seems to be allowing my tests to allocate as much memory and inflict as many memory overloading events (OOM killer) as the 3.5 and 3.2 kernels, so this test looks like we will be able to gather a datapoint on the issue, either way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154876 Title: 3.2.0-38 and earlier systems hang with heavy memory usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1154876/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
