Bug #1806
DFBSD 2.7.3 - mbuf exhausted while rsync to a NFS
0%
Description
I got two virtual machines running DFBSD. One is KVM (512MB mem) and the other
one is under VMware (1024MB).
kvm is the NFS server which is exporting /usr like this:
/usr -alldirs -maproot=root: -network ....
From the vmware I mount it, and start copying the repo using rsync:
# rsync -av -progress /usr/src /mnt/target/usr/
After a while the following warning appears in the kvm (NFS server):
Warning, objcache(mbuf): Exhausted!
# netstat -m
9056/9056 mbufs in use (current/max):
134/4528 mbuf clusters in use (current/max)
9190 mbufs and mbuf clusters allocated to data
2532 Kbytes allocated to network (22% of mb_map in use)
163 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
In the client part the copy stops:
dfbsd/.git/objects/pack/pack-eb16b18282ea58f39f353cb1c7e4786cfa544159.pack

And I can't even ssh from outside the kvm machine:
% ssh 192.168.3.100
antonioh@192.168.3.100's password:
Timeout, server not responding.

Updated by Ok, this should be fixed now. nfs_realign() was calling m_copyback()
which was allocating the mbuf chain using normal mbufs instead of
cluster bufs, causing the normal mbufs to get blown out on machines
with low amounts of memory.

Updated by Hi Matt,
As we agreed, I've uploaded the dump files of the panic that was produced in the
NFS client side. They are in my home dir: ~/crash/1806*.1
Cheers,
