Patch Name: PHKL_26063 Patch Description: s700 10.20 Cumulative swap patch Creation Date: 02/01/25 Post Date: 02/03/08 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.CORE-KRN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Release Critical: No (superseded patches were critical) PHKL_17334: PANIC PHKL_12956: PANIC Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_26063 Symptoms: PHKL_26063: (SR: 8606228911 CR: JAGad97964) Cannot create file system swap greater than 4GB. PHKL_17334: swapinfo(1m) reports more space "free" than "available"; panics with "swapchunk: swapspace exhausted" PHKL_12956: System panics if swapout process fails due to swap device error.The panic message is: panic:(display==0xb800,flags==0x0)swap device error. Defect Description: PHKL_26063: (SR: 8606228911 CR: JAGad97964) When file system swap size was set to over 4GB, data types used in intermediate swap calculations overflowed. Resolution: The necessary type promotions were made to avoid intermediate swap calculations overflow due to data type limitations. PHKL_17334: swapon had a race condition in it for MP machines that would cause a swap device to be counted twice; this could be observed by running multiple "swapon -a" commands on different processors PHKL_12956: devswap_stratgy() checks B_ERROR flag in the buffer structure used in I/O process. The system panics if this flag is set. The fix was not to check if this flag is set. Instead, the buffer structure with the B_ERROR flag is passed to the caller of the strategy routine. The caller decides what action to take when B_ERROR flag is set.
