When I added 180K records in the database, I got the "no more pkg mem"
error again.
I increased again:
#define PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE 32*1024*1024
This allowed me to execute pdt_list with 180K records loaded.

I increased database record count to 240K and got the "no more pkg
mem" error again.

So I don't think it is prudent to just keep increasing
PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE.  Is this an architectural limitation with fifo
pkg_mem, shouldn't this be a dynamic allocation if it's not within
shmem and has no affect on core sip-router function?  While the
pdt_reload and pdt_list is going on (takes a few seconds to load and
list), I don't see any problems with the sip-router executions.  I
guess I can just use the old fashion database query to look up routes
instead of fifo pdt_list.


Hi Jr,

if you don't use the PKG_MALLOC MM in your system at least the kamailio
1.5
will fallback to the system malloc, which don't have this size
restrictions.
For 3.x/ sr there is an option to build the MI interface with system
malloc as
well, it this commit:

     lib/kmi: option to build it with system malloc

     - MI lib can be built independently of core with system malloc for
pkg
       memory (see Makefile)


this is the option added to overcome the MI design limitations - while
most
of dumped structures are in shared memory, MI builds the output in PKG
memory, resulting in insufficient space since shm is much bigger than pkg
-
also this sometime ended as well in lot of mem fragmentation for mi
process
in the past.

It needs to edit lib/kmi/Makefile and enable system malloc, recompile and
reinstall.

Hi Ramona,

Thanks for your suggestions.  I started over with default mem
parameters in config.h and compiled with:
## uncomment next line for using system malloc with MI
DEFS+= -DMI_SYSTEM_MALLOC

I loaded the pdt database table with 360K records and also started
kamailio with '-m 512' but the table still has a max record
limitation, will not load propperly and I get these errors:
  0(22456) ERROR: pdt [pdtree.c:283]: bad parameters
  0(22456) INFO: pdt [pdt.c:490]: no prefix found in [2000171212]

Of course wihout a propper table load, pdt_list does not produce any
results (but i don;t get the pkg_mem error any more).

sip-router2:~# kamctl fifo get_statistics all
shmem:total_size = 536870912
shmem:used_size = 1229472
shmem:real_used_size = 1247560
shmem:max_used_size = 1255376
shmem:free_size = 535623352

There seems to still be a bottleneck with shmem, even through I have
512M+ available, I only seem to be using ~1.2M.  Is there an internal
shmem hard limit that can be adjusted?

Hi JR,

There is no limit hard-coded, I just loaded 1mio records in pdt (sdomain=*,
prefix=1mio..2mio, domain=test.org) and statistics show:

shmem:total_size = 268435456
shmem:used_size = 26594256
shmem:real_used_size = 80148548
shmem:max_used_size = 80148548
shmem:free_size = 188286908

So the records are reflected in shared memory. What is the output of
"kamailio -V"? What are the parameters for pdt?

Regards,
Ramona

modparam("pdt", "char_list", "0123456789")
modparam("pdt", "check_domain", 0)
modparam("pdt", "fetch_rows", 5000)

Here is an interesting observation:
When I have 300K+ records in the pdt table, it seems like it will not
load properly and the shmem is very low, as expected without a large
memory pool needed to hold the records.  Statistics show:
shmem:total_size = 33554432
shmem:used_size = 1229472
shmem:real_used_size = 1247512
shmem:max_used_size = 1247512
shmem:free_size = 32306920
shmem:fragments = 11

When I decrease the table recrods to 240K, the complete table loads ok
and shmem reflect properly:
shmem:total_size = 33554432
shmem:used_size = 6349784
shmem:real_used_size = 8501144
shmem:max_used_size = 8501144
shmem:free_size = 25053288
shmem:fragments = 1

So maybe I'm not having an issue with shmem at all but a loading
problem with the pdt tabe after a certain record count.

I changed the "modparam("pdt", "fetch_rows", 5000)" to see if that
would help.  When the table loads properly is is quicker than with the
default 1000 rows, but that is the only difference I experience.  When
the pdt table has more than 300K records, it just does not load into
memory.

Could there be a pdt module timeout that is being met when loading?
For instance, if it takes more than N seconds to load, consider a
fault and not load?

sip-router2:/etc/kamailio# mysql -V
mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.51a, for debian-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2
sip-router2:/etc/kamailio#

try to play with mysql module timeout parameter in case the records are not loaded fast enough:
