From ed3924ef841183f79a2a496578aef4189052b824 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Wed, 19 May 2021 12:43:22 +0100 Subject: glibc: Add 8GB VM usage cap for usermode test suite We've noticed that: MACHINE=qemuarm oe-selftest -r glibc.GlibcSelfTest.test_glibc ends up with one process growing to about the size of system memory and triggering the OOM killer. This has been taking out other builds running on the system on the autobuilders and is one cause of our intermittent failures. This was tracked down to: WORKDIR=XXX/tmp/work/armv7vet2hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/glibc-testsuite/2.33-r0 BUILDDIR=$WORKDIR/build-arm-poky-linux-gnueabi QEMU_SYSROOT=$WORKDIR/recipe-sysroot QEMU_OPTIONS="$WORKDIR/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/qemu-arm -r 3.2.0" \ $WORKDIR/check-test-wrapper user env GCONV_PATH=$BUILDDIR/iconvdata LOCPATH=$BUILDDIR/localedata LC_ALL=C $BUILDDIR/elf/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 \ --library-path $BUILDDIR:$BUILDDIR/math:$BUILDDIR/elf:$BUILDDIR/dlfcn:$BUILDDIR/nss:$BUILDDIR/nis:$BUILDDIR/rt:$BUILDDIR/resolv:$BUILDDIR/mathvec:$BUILDDIR/support:$BUILDDIR/nptl \ $BUILDDIR/nptl/tst-pthread-timedlock-lockloop although other glibc tests appear to use 16GB of memory before failing anyway. By capping the VM size to 8GB, we see the same number of failures but no OOM situations. There may be some issue in qemu or the test which could be improved to avoid this entirely but this provides a necessary and useful safeguard to other builds and doensn't appear to make the situation worse. On a loaded system OOM may not occur as the test timeout may be triggered first. An experiment with a 5GB limit showed an additional 7 failures.
