Dan, Not sure if this will help or not, but of the 8+ servers we have using the r3.large instance type, the only two that have encountered the issue were running MongoDB on them, launched using the numactl tool with the --interleave=all option set.
Here's the exact launch command used: exec start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --chuid mongodb --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/mongodb.pid --exec /usr/bin/numactl -- --interleave=all /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongodb.conf I won't pretend to know how numactl interleaves the memory across the nodes, but I can't help but think high memory usage on these nodes combined with forced interleaving might be why we hit this issue? After weeks of stress testing with your custom kernel, I have yet to hit this issue again. The synthetic environment I'm using probably isn't enough to hit this bug. Hopefully your testing with the c4.8xLarge is more helpful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497428 Title: kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-3.13.0/mm/page_alloc.c:968 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1497428/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
