This bug is awaiting verification that the linux- aws-5.15/5.15.0-1046.51~20.04.1 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal-linux- aws-5.15' to 'verification-done-focal-linux-aws-5.15'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal-linux-aws-5.15' to 'verification-failed-focal-linux-aws-5.15'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

Inspection of OOM reports, /proc/meminfo, and /proc/slabinfo says that it's mostly going to unreclaimable kmalloc-2k slabs: Aug 23 12:51:11 cluster kernel: [361299.864757] Unreclaimable slab info: Aug 23 12:51:11 cluster kernel: [361299.864757] Name Used Total [...] Aug 23 12:51:11 cluster kernel: [361299.864924] kmalloc-2k 6676584KB 6676596KB Most of our machines appear to be leaking slab memory at a rate of around 20 to 40 Mbytes/hour, with some machines leaking much faster; the champions are leaking kernel memory at 145 Mbytes/hour and 237 Mbytes/hour. We aren't running any proprietary kernel modules and our only unusual kernel configuration is that we've disabled AppArmor with 'apparmor=0' on the kernel command line. /proc/version_signature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-46.49-generic 5.15.39 Full kernel command line from the Dell R240 system that fatally OOMd: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-46-generic root=UUID=3165564f-a2dd-4b39-935b-114f3e23ff54 ro console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 apparmor=0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1987430/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
