Hi, I am running older kernel (CentOS 2.6.9-34 SMP) on 32 bit arch. Some of my systems got hung, while trying to write some data to disk. All those systems exhibit similar pattern where during this time, /proc/meminfo suggesting 'Inactive' < 'Dirty'. All of machines have 2G of physical memory and ~1.5G memory is locked (via mlock).
I tried reading code but could not establish any direct relationship between Zone->in_active pages vs. per-cpu_page_state->nr_dirty. Has anybody seen system in this kind of state before ? And are these 2 parameters affect each-other ?
