Hi all,I'm using 2.6.17-11.33vs2.0.2.1 from dists/dapper/uniklu-vserver/binary-i386/linux-image-2.6.17-11-server_2.6.17-11.33vs2.0.2.1_i386.deb and in one of the 2 vservers I see the value locks decreasing constantly (about 1 per second in steps of 4-6 every 5 seconds): Every 2,0s: cat /proc/virtual/49153/limit ... LOCKS: -103993 -1 -1 0 The other vserver has LOCKS: -126, but has some fewer packages. So I like to know if this leads to problems in stability? Is there a way to tell which process is eating all this locks? Thanks for an answer. Konrad
Looks like whoever rebased the patch on that kernel didn't get the lock accounting quite right. This in and of itself shouldn't lead to stability problems, it's just an accounting bug (and thus you wouldn't be able to limit it), but there could be more problems with the rebase (downside of not using vanilla ;-)).
