howdy all, At my work, I am using 10.0-CURRENT on Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5620 with 16GB ram. I am taking "panic: kmem_malloc(-548663296): kmem_map too small: 539459584 total allocated" message with configuration below: [root@ ~]# sysctl vm.kmem_size_min vm.kmem_size_max vm.kmem_size vm.kmem_size_scale vm.kmem_size_min: 0 vm.kmem_size_max: 329853485875 vm.kmem_size: 16686845952 vm.kmem_size_scale: 1 [root@ ~]# sysctl hw.physmem hw.usermem hw.realmem hw.physmem: 17151787008 hw.usermem: 8282652672 hw.realmem: 18253611008 [root@ ~]# sysctl hw.pagesize hw.pagesizes hw.availpages hw.pagesize: 4096 hw.pagesizes: 4096 2097152 0 hw.availpages: 4187448 When I compare vmstat and netstat output of boot time result and subsequent result, the major difference are seemed at: pf_temp 0 0K - 79309736 128 | pf_temp 1077640 134705K - 84330076 128 and after the panic at the core dump file the major vmstat difference is: temp 110 15K - 76212305 16,32,64,128,256 | temp 117 6742215K - 655115 16,32,64,128,2 When I explore the source code of kernel (at vm_kern.c and vm_map.c), I see that the panic can occur with the cases at below: * negative malloc size parameter * longer than free buffer respect to kmem_map min_offset and max_offset values * try to allocate when the root entry of map is the rightmost entry of map * try to allocate bigger than map's max_free value I think the panic occurs at mbuf creation process when calling malloc() as a result of couldn't be able to allocate memory; but I don't understand why one of this panic case activating? The memory is almost empty but the device is saying kmem_map small when using about 0.5GB memory purely. How can i solve this panic problem? Thank you all for your time. -- Best Wishes, Tugrul Erdogan
