[lc-devel] Lockups in 2.4.17

[David C. <dav...@rc...>]

Dear all,

I have a couple of lockups in 2.4.17 with compressed cache. Not sure its
linux related or compressed cache related.

I happens in 2 situations,
1. The beginning to swap out pages, when the memory getting low and the
kernel beginging to swap out pages, this only happened once, not often
triggered.
2. Swap is gradually increasing, when its full, the machine lockup. I
think this is not out of memory, infact kernel should free up some
unused pages or reclaim some swaps. It seems the swap usage never
decrease, and it seems the kernel have problem freeing up swap spaces.

Anyone have experience in this? Thanks.

David
