Hi all

I met the same issue mentioned in the post ltp-list mails as follows.

And I notice that the test will still fail with

"Not enough free pids" once the memory is lager than 4G.

Does any one has plan to fix it or give it a walk around ?

If not, I want to fix it with the update of maximum pid number

once the memory is over 4G.

Willing to get your advice.

Jin

Hi,

msgctl11 in ltp-20110915 failed on 2.6.39 kernel:

msgctl11 1 TBROK : Not enough free pids

I found that before error out,

MSGMNI is 32768
MAXNKIDS is 10
free_pids is 32611
maxnkids = ((free_pids / 4) / MSGMNI);
so maxnkids is zero, which is why msgctl11 failed.

Is this problem of testcase or problem of the tested system?

Thanks

I think it's a configuration issue.

Cyril, do you think is it better to change TBROK to TCONF here?

(quoted diff) +1 -1
-                       tst_resm(TBROK, "Not enough free pids");
+                       tst_resm(TCONF, "Not enough free pids");

Thanks,
Caspar

I changed MSGMNI in /proc to below 3000 and test passed.

Thanks
