Description gergely.czuczy 2017-08-03 13:58:56 UTC
Hello,

While running some port builds over an NFS-mounted /usr/ports on my 
aarch64 VM after r321253, I've noticed that sooner or later I'm getting 
an error saying "kernel: [zone: mbuf_cluster] kern.ipc.nmbclusters limit 
reached". I've tried increasing the sysctl, but after some time I always 
got the error.

I've checked the mbuf counter with ``netstat -m'' periodically during 
the build, and noticed that the mbufs in use and mbuf clusters in use 
are continuously increasing, I've never seen a decrease:

279943/392/280335 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
130819/253/131072/131072 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)

According to 
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/?view=log&pathrev=321253, the 
previous commit to HEAD was r321248. I've checked it on that build as 
well, and I couldn't reproduce the issue, mbuf counters were stable.

After getting the kernel error message, the builds got stuck, some 
processes become unresponsive, and the only way to I was aware to clear 
the mbufs was to reboot the VM.

So far what I know, is building over NFS triggers the leak. However, I 
haven't tested it with other network activities, might also do the trick.

Could you please take a look into it?

If any more information is needed, please let me know, I still have my 
test VMs at hand, I can do a few tests.

Best regards,
Gergely


PS1: Might affect other architectures as well, I haven't tested it on anything else than aarch64.

Adding Andrew Turner so he can yell at me.

Can you try this patch and see if mbufs stop leaking on your host?

  A stray '.' somehow made it past my testing.

  Do *not* bump portrevision as this only affects the packaging/stage
  of these ports on mips/armv6 or other cross compiled targets.

Comment 6 gergely.czuczy 2017-08-08 08:47:58 UTC
Various builds are running for quite a while, and the mbuf counters are stable. This seems like fixes the issue, I'm unable to reproduce it with the patch applied.

  Don't leak mbufs if clusers exceeds the number of segments.  This would
  leak mbufs over time causing crashes.

  Add a code block for the qemu-user enabled cross build environment.  When using
  this environment in poudriere, CC is not set to the default of /usr/bin/cc and
  a cross-compile toolchain is used.  We need to hand edit this so that the run
  time configuration for python matches what the FreeBSD base system provides.
