Sending in my report now. My issue *maybe* is related to cgroups/docker. I don't think I saw this issue until I started trying to request hugepages from a docker container.
But from what I can see, some processes just... do not give up the pages after they exit. At least not in a way that the kernel can pick up on. Instead I end up with pages that are not available, I cannot free them, and I can find no evidence of them in /dev/hugepages, ipcs, or /proc/*/numa_maps. They are just ghosts! ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1651609 Title: Missing hugepages in xenial on 4.4.0-36-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1651609/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
