[LU-15427] Lustre client hangs under memory pressue

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 16:17:10 +0000

Our compute nodes have 384GB memory and 192GB swap space. When application use a lot of memory (all of 384GB and some of 192GB swap) , many processes reading/writing to Lustre enter in D state and hang and never recover. We see the below in syslog. Note - Swap never gets full.
