Hello,

(Sorry about the long e-mail)

[1.] One line summary of the problem:
2.4.23-pre4 deadlocks while 2.4.22aa1 works fine (under heavy VM load that
is).

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
While -aa VM kills the offending process (please refer the sample script),
2.4.23-pre4 deadlocks and doesn't do much.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
2.4.23-pre4

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
Linux version 2.4.23-pre4 (hari@desktop) (gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat
Linux 3.2.2-5)) #1 Sat Sep 20 16:39:09 EST 2003

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
I ran sysrq+c+showTasks through ksymoops (I do not know, but it may have some
clue).

ksymoops 2.4.5 on i686 2.4.23-pre4. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.23-pre4/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.4.23-pre4 (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.

Please use 128 MB Ram with 256 MB swap to reproduce the issue really quick.
Execute this utility (It tries to build a massive dictionary (hash table) in
python):
### Starts here ###
#!/usr/bin/python

import sys
from string import *

d = {}
i = 0
for l1 in letters:
for l2 in letters:
for l3 in letters:
for l4 in letters:
d[i] = l1+l2+l3+l4
i += 1

print "Number of items in d: %s" % len(d)
while True:
try:
a = int(raw_input("Provide the input: "))
print d[a]
except KeyError:
print "%s not in d" % a
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print "Good Bye"
sys.exit()
### Ends here ###

Workaround: Use 2.4.22aa1 instead :-).

In the case of 2.4.22aa1 the VM kills the offending process (after killing few
innocent ones along the way :-), and then everything is fine. But in
2.4.23-pre4 everything stops working (for eg, the vmstat session doesn't
progress etc..).

Please feel free to ask for more information.

Thanks
