Hello,

We've been using UML to run some computational applications (developed
in-house).  The application runs fine for nearly 24h, then is killed
with signal 9.  Just before the application is killed, these lines
appear on the console:

   [102159.270000] do_syscall_stub : ret = -12, offset = 1052688, data
= 00000000f7b7c010
   [102159.270000] do_syscall_stub: syscall 9 failed, return value =
0xfffffffffffffff4, expected return value = 0x173d4000
   [102159.270000]     syscall parameters: 0x173d4000 0x1000 0x7 0x11
0x4 0x6da32000
   [102159.270000] Failed to flush page for address 0x173d4000

So my guess is that the appliaction triggered some sort of "internal error" and
was killed by the UML kernel.  Googling the error message, I found
this reference to an older thread on this mailing list:

  
http://www.mail-archive.com/user-mode-linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04364.html

I'm not sure what is meant there with UML "exceeding 256M RSS" and
how/if this can be worked around.  The UML machine is launched with
"mem=2G" and the application is expected to use about 1G max.

Any suggestion?

For the record, we're using UML 2.6.38.4 (from devloop.co.uk) with a
Debain 6 (squeeze) FS (installed via Debian's rootstrap).

Thank you very much in advance,
Riccardo
