Hey,
I know this problem is probably not jabber specific, but it's still funny
jabberd triggers this problem (do_try_to_free_pages failed for kswapd) on
different systems after 1000+ users. Both systems are not out of memory, swap
is not being hit.
It's more likely a tuning thing on my side, for example because of the
spooling system used jabberd opens a file for every user etc (I did bump up
/proc/sys/fs/file-max though).
I am using a stock 2.2.17 kernel, fresh from ftp.kernel.org, no patches at
all.
(Btw the error causes jabberd to segfault).
Any comments? :-)
Regards,
Dennis
