It will depends upon lot of thing :-
1.What is your size of ramfs ,
2. Are you using any harddisk ,
3. How many many files are you creating ,
4. How frequently you are making files .
5. What are the size of your files ?

In my case , my ramfs is of 14 MB , using no hard-disk , i am continously
making and deleting files of 4 K size , my Machine hangs within 5 minutes ,
by saying no memory left.

Please tell me about your system and what you are doing on it ?

Thanks ,

Jaswinder.

I can write random 4k files as fast and long as I like (with swap off)
and if I flush out the rather large dcache...

Generic 128mb PIII/500.  What I was doing on it was beating up ramfs
looking for the leak you reported :)

The OS resides on disk, yes.  I suppose I could plunk a minimal
system into ramfs, pivot_root and umount disk, but I don't see
any way that could matter for a memory leak.

(hmm.. locking up tho.  script makes dcache _grow_.  no swap and
ram is full.  page_launder... writepage needs a page?)

I'd try moving the call to shrink_dcache_memory() right to the
top of do_try_to_free_pages() and see what happens (WAG;) when
you run your script.

In any case, the fs itself doesn't seem to be leaking here.

It is very difficult to see memory leak , with hard disks .

As i told you , in my case i am using no harddisks , only thing i have is
RAM , so i am using only Ramdisk and ramfs, so in my case my Ram will full
within few minutes and My machine hangs .

It is very easy for me to see any leak which I can trigger.  I'm using
a tool which tracks each any every allocation in the kernel. (a 1/32
scale model of physical memory with 'who allocated it, and when' tags)

Exactly.  Nothing but ram and it's mostly unfreeable.  That makes
life pretty tough for the vm.

Does it hang if you are doing other things than creating/destroying
tiny files (with unique names) as rapidly as possible?.. ie did you
start doing that to troubleshoot because it was hanging over a long
period of time?

You snipped my suggestion.. did you try it?  If not, please do.  In
fact, go a bit further.  Make unconditional calls to kmem_cache_reap()
and shrink_icache_memory() as well.. prior to calling page_launder().
It's a long shot, but it might help.  If it does help, that will
tell developers what they need to know.  It costs you five minutes.

Another option is to build 2.4.5-pre6 and add the patch Rik posted.
If my thinker is working right, that _will_ help (if not cure).

Another option which virtually guarantees successful identification
of the problem (but costs more than five minutes) is for you to grab
a copy of IKD from your favorite kernel mirror and give memleak a try
locally.  It can be found in /pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/ikd. If
you choose this option and have any trouble, drop me a note offline.

This is not a good concept at all , why linux is wasting precious RAM
unnecassarily, if not required .

Then what will happen for Embedded system (like in my case), which do not
have any Hard disk , only things they have Flash or Ram.

If i create and delete files with same name , inode_cache & dentry_cache
increases only one time , there is no problem .
If i create and delete files with different name , inode_cache &
dentry_cache increases continously and will eat my whole RAM and crash
system.

And if i create and delete my file after long lapse , inode_cache &
dentry_cache are restore after some time , their is no problem .
But if i create and delete files very frequently , inode_cache &
dentry_cache get no time for restore and eat my whole RAM and crash system.

If i donot create and delete files files frequently with different name ,
their is no problem at all.

Thank you very much for your suggestions , i was getting this problem in my
ARM target machine and right now i am working on SH target machines , and i
am quite busy with my SH target machines now , i have to do lot of setups to
change my target machines , i am sorry right now i am not in position to
test your suggestions , but as soon as my SH target machine work is over , i
will test all your suggestions and options.

BTW, i am getting Ramdisk intialization problem in SH target machine.

Thank you,

Yes.. seems the caches need some size limits.  ramfs will lock you in
a heart beat if you hit oom. (i made a typo during iozone run.. oops:)

I think you can forget these suggestions.  You've verified that it's
cache growth, so this football should be punted over to either Rik or
Al.. or better yet, both.

ramnfs has resource limits in -ac for a reason.

It is very difficult to see memory leak , with hard disks .

As i told you , in my case i am using no harddisks , only thing i have is
RAM , so i am using only Ramdisk and ramfs, so in my case my Ram will full
within few minutes and My machine hangs .

Dear Alan ,

Have you noticed (or fixed ) :-

1. the Memory leakage in ramfs
2. initialization of Ramdisk.

In you your new versions .


I am adding some details about them , for your reference :-

#######################################
1. the Memory leakage in ramfs  (Subject of email was "Memory leak in the
ramfs file system")

I am attaching details before and during  my application .

Mainly changes are in dentry_cache and inode_cache , but i am attaching
whole /proc/slabinfo for your reference.

I am also facing one more problem with ramfs.

du and df shows 0 , so i am also attaching its output.
#######################################
2. initialization of Ramdisk. (Subject of email was "Ramdisk Initialization
Problem")
---------------------------

    I am using kernel 2.4.1 with compressed Ramdisk on  Hitachi SH board ,
with no battery.   When i run kernel first time , it works fine , it
uncompress Ramdisk and i get my shell prompt .    But when i restart it
second time (with out  removing power cable ) kernel dies when
uncompressing Ramdisk.
But , if i remove my power supply for more than 5 minutes , and then
i start again , it works again.
It seems that in 2.4.1 and/or later versions has  Ramdisk Initailization
or uninitialised memory problem.
But i faced no problem  with 2.2.12 kernel.

Thank you,

Linux hanged here 

Linux 2.4.4-ac17

[Alan Cox]

	ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/2.4/

		 Intermediate diffs are available from
			http://www.bzimage.org

In terms of going through the code audit almost all the sound drivers still 
need fixing to lock against format changes during a read/write. Poll creating 
and starting a buffer as write does and also mmap during write, write during
an mmap.
