[Bug 1154876] Re: 3.2.0-38 and earlier systems hang with heavy memory usage

2013-10-16 Thread Marc Hasson
Summary: Tried 3.11rc7, very happy with how it behaved in our testing. Tried this week's 3.12rc5, disappointed that a step backwards was taken on that one for us. The difference for us was in the low memory killer that was configured in the 3.11rc7 build but not the 3.12rc5 system. Details

Christopher, its looks like I actually have a reasonable record of the VMWare version I was using for this reproduction despite having regularly updated my VMWare. . The VMWare installer has a log that shows that at the time of the reproduction/report here I was running the VMWare vmplayer 4.0.4

Marc Hasson, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the

Christopher, I did such a test back in March upon request with no response to my testing results then. Nor *any* activity, until your recent notes. Do we have any specific reason or bugfix to believe that this memory issue has been addressed since then? Will I get at least a response this time

So, its been many weeks without any kind of acknowledgement of either my previous note in this bug from March nor the 10.04 variant I filed in bug #1161202 for the 10.04 base. Is there any way to get a response of anything further to do on these matters? You guys have the scripts/description and

My testing on the 3.9 kernel has been underway since the note above, its surpassed 11 days of running the loads from the scripts attached, and even higher. The previous 3.2 and 3.5 kernel testing never exceeded 4.5 days before hanging solidly, and usually were less. So, the 3.9 kernel appears to

Sure Joseph, in progress. I have the 3.9 kernel you referenced now running my tests on my 12.04 system. Its so far behaving normally, it will likely take a few days to know whether there is any difference as far as the hang is concerned. Just for the record, I had previously tested with: linux-
