Subject: Tracking down semaphore usage/leak
Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2001 14:09:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200106262109.QAA15955@asooo.flowerfire.com> (raw)

With RedHat's new Samba 2.0.10 RPM (the one to patch the latest 
vulnerability) they seem to have sniffed enough glue to start using SysV 
IPC semaphores which apparently leak until SEM??? are reached.  semget() 
is returning "No space left on device", and disk/inodes/memory are all 
fine.

Anyway, could someone give me a very quick rundown of the options for 
tracking/force-freeing semaphores, or how to determine from proc, if 
possible, what the current semaphore allocation status is?  Or did RH 
slay a machine I really don't want to reboot?  I've restarted all 
semaphore-using processes to no avail, but even so the SEM??? limits are 
far above the normal needs of this machine.

Thanks much.  Searched the archives/Google/FAQ/semaphore docs; sorry if 
it's been covered.  I'll summarize if folks want to hit me on or off the 
list.
