            Bug ID: 221202
           Summary: Mbufs leak since r321253
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: arm64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: gergely.czuczy@harmless.hu

Hello,

While running some port builds over an NFS-mounted /usr/ports on my=20
aarch64 VM after r321253, I've noticed that sooner or later I'm getting=20
an error saying "kernel: [zone: mbuf_cluster] kern.ipc.nmbclusters limit=20
reached". I've tried increasing the sysctl, but after some time I always=20
got the error.

I've checked the mbuf counter with ``netstat -m'' periodically during=20
the build, and noticed that the mbufs in use and mbuf clusters in use=20
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=20
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/?view=3Dlog&pathrev=3D321253, the=20
previous commit to HEAD was r321248. I've checked it on that build as=20
well, and I couldn't reproduce the issue, mbuf counters were stable.

After getting the kernel error message, the builds got stuck, some=20
processes become unresponsive, and the only way to I was aware to clear=20
the mbufs was to reboot the VM.

So far what I know, is building over NFS triggers the leak. However, I=20
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=20
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 anyth=
ing
else than aarch64.
