I'm debugging a program making heavy us of mmap(). Contrary to what man-page says, I expected it to be possible to mmap() regions larger than 2Gb on amd64, and mmap() did, indeed succeeded for a 3.7Gb file. However some time into running the program exited on signal 6 (ABRT). A minute or so after that the whole system panic-ed: vnode_pager_getpages: unexpected missing page: first addr: -1, foff 0x080006000, vnp_size 0x0b5d20000 The machine runs yesterday's -current, has a single Opteron CPU and 2Gb of RAM. There was very little IO at the time of death (according to the frozen `systat 1 -vm'). 1) Am I wrong, and mmap-ing more than 2Gb is not supposed to work even on a 64-bit system? 2) How can I help in eliminating this panic? 3) Should I go back to the latest 5.3-beta, or is the -current kernel not dramatically more unstable? Thanks, -miReceived on Thu Oct 14 2004 - 15:28:16 UTC
