9837.0. "? on trace who uses wired memory, increases steady on DigitalUNIX v4.0A" by RULLE::BRINGH () Thu May 15 1997 13:11


Hi


I have a system running DigitalUNIX v4.0A and DCE/DFS v2.0A.
Wired memory is slowly, sometimes faster, increasing up to a point
where the system is unusable and has to be rebooted. Any suggestions
on how I can see who is eating up wired memory? If I guess that a process
is to blaim, should wired memory decrease eventually, immediatelly
or not at all, if that process is killed?

I include output from vmstat, vmstat -s, vmstat -P and vmstat -M from
three different times and one ps laxw.

vmstat -P shows that wired memory increased with 7707-5164=2543 and most
of it is in malloc pages, 4156-1748=2408

vmstat -M shows a large increase in several places, to mention a few.

    You running the polycenter performance monitor (???). Or something
    simliar? These long running performance collectors are using
    Mach IPC (a la the ps command) to gather process data. There's
    a common bug where they don't disable Mach IPC port deletion
    notifications, and tons of these message pile up in the
    collector's address space. Thus, your MIPC keeps going up
    (Mach IPC).
    
    There's a patch for the polycenter thing. I forget the specifics,
    but they're discussed elsewhere in this conference.
9837.2No Performance MonitorRULLE::BRINGHTue May 20 1997 12:097
Hi

No, they are not running Performance Monitor but they are running top and monitor.
But they also exit them and most of time they are not running them.

    Well, those other programs are good candidates for the problem
    as well. If you nuke them all, the MIPC bucket shrink and wired
    memory come back? You've certainly got the symptom -- I've
    never seen anything make MIPC grow like that.
