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 #1 0x00002adf7d8faa87 in _dl_lookup_symbol_x () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 #2 0x00002adf7d8fe0b5 in _dl_fixup () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 #3 0x00002adf7d9034d2 in _dl_runtime_resolve () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 #4 0x00002adf7ef45d04 in pdlogNestedTrapHandler () from /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/lib64/libdb2e.so.1 #5 <signal handler called> #6 0x00002adf7d8fa634 in do_lookup_x () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 #7 0x00002adf7d8faa87 in _dl_lookup_symbol_x () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 #8 0x00002adf7d8fe0b5 in _dl_fixup () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 #9 0x00002adf7d9034d2 in _dl_runtime_resolve () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 #10 0x00002adf7ef45d04 in pdlogNestedTrapHandler () from /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/lib64/libdb2e.so.1 #11 <signal handler called> | |

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