DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC64748 Status: Closed

WHEN A GPFS CONTAINING THE INSTANCE DIRECTORY (SQLLIB) IS LOST ON A
SYSTEM, IT RESULTS IN HIGH CPU USAGE BY DB2SYSC

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
When a GPFS filesystem containing the instance directory 
(sqllib, where DB2 binaries and libraries reside) is lost on a 
system, both db2sysc and db2fmp processes go into a defunct 
state and start consuming high CPU, the result of which is due 
to the process being stuck in infinite recursion with a signal 
handler. Even a kill with a signal 9 against these defunct DB2 
processes would not cleanup. 
 
Callstack for db2sysc via a debugger would show the following 
stack recursively: 
#0  0x00002adf7d8fa634 in do_lookup_x () 
from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Local Fix:
To workaround, either reboot the system or kill db2wdog process 
with a signal 9 (this will clean up defunct DB2 processes).
