Hi,

Here are issues posted on LKML in the last week.

OOM-killer too aggressive?
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/26/58
We can track the memory allocation requests and find which request
actually kicks the OOM killer.

udevd is killing file write performance.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/22/80
The inotify locks a directory and udevd consumes a lot of cpu time.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/23/97
And in this mail, he traced back the stack to get the function arguments
by using kdb. I think we can provide some tracing scripts to do that.

NFS Still broken in 2.6.x?
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/23/282
The performance of NFS server using linux2.6 is slower than linux2.4.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/24/151
And in this mail, he found the NFS performance degradation occurred
only with the "cfq" I/O scheduler. I think we can obtain how NFS
server works with I/O schedulers by using the systemtap.

Bio & Biovec-1 increasing cache size, never freed during disk IO
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/25/184
This problem was solved. I think if we use the systemtap, we can find
the resource leaks by checking reference counter on enter and exit of
functions.

Re: lockd: couldn't create RPC handle for (host)
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/27/302
NFS lockd has had a problem. It reported since Dec 18, 2005.
But the oops still occurs with 2.6.15.4. Some arguments or variables
may be corrupted. I think the systemtap can solve this problem
by tracing those variables.
