I'm getting this problem on a stock RedHat 6.2 (2.2.14-5.0) system,
running RAID 1. It's usually preceded by these entries in syslog:
Apr 21 10:26:01 case kernel: swap_duplicate: entry 246f3020,
nonexistent swap file
Apr 21 10:26:01 case kernel: VM: killing process calibre
Apr 21 10:26:01 case kernel: swap_free: offset exceeds max
Apr 21 10:26:01 case kernel: swap_free: Trying to free nonexistent
swap-page
Apr 21 10:26:01 case kernel: swap_free: offset exceeds max
Apr 21 10:26:01 case kernel: swap_free: Trying to free nonexistent
swap-page
or...
Apr 21 00:55:42 case kernel: swap_duplicate: entry 16dff014,
nonexistent swap file
Apr 21 00:55:42 case kernel: VM: killing process calibre
This is with 768MB RAM on an Athlon 800Mhz system. I'm unable to
benchmark performance of Linux vs. HPUX/Solaris due to the fact it can
never complete the jobs we would use it for!
I'm willing to work with somebody on this; the problem seems to be
easily reproducible. I'm additionally blaiming RAID; I see file
corruption under heavy load (and the swap partition is RAIDed too).
All this and the Intel eepro card dumps on me with this:
Apr 20 17:08:08 case kernel: eth0: card reports no resources.
during heavy activity. Color me not too impressed right now.
