DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC64283 Status: Closed

REORG INDEX WITH THE CLEANUP ONLY OPTION OR ASYNCHRONOUS INDEX CLEANUP MAY
CAUSE MEMORY CORRUPTION.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
If sequential detection is enabled in a database, DB2 may enter 
this code path during the reorg index cleanup or asynchronous 
index cleanup. If index pages are not sequential, sequential 
detection prefetching can not be performed. Then readahead 
prefetching will be used. The corruption may occur only if the 
index has VARCHAR/VARGRPAPHIC columns and the prefetch request 
list is full at the time the prefetching request is made.
Problem Summary:
If sequential detection is enabled in a database, DB2 may enter 
this code path during the reorg index cleanup or asynchronous 
index cleanup. If index pages are not sequential, sequential 
detection prefetching can not be performed. Then readahead 
prefetching will be used. The corruption may occur only if the 
index has VARCHAR/VARGRPAPHIC columns and the prefetch request 
list is full at the time the prefetching request is made.
Local Fix:
The local fix is to recreate the index, disable 
sequential detection or alter the index tablespace prefetch size 
to zero.
