[Bug 1226833] [NEW] zend (php-fpm) crashes in high load/memory server

[Rarylson Freitas]

Public bug reported:

When the server is with a big load and, mainly, using a lot of memory
(and swapping), the php5-fpm process crashs with a SIGFAULT signal.

The service works again when I do a `service php5-fpm restart` command.

The problem occours a few times (everytime, the server was with 100%
memory usage, and swapping). It occours 5 times in a single day when the
application was with a uncommon CPU/memory usage (caused by a already
solved bug).

dmesg returns a lot of messages like:

  [6463236.343483] php5-fpm[12724]: segfault at 30 ip 00000000006b9311 sp 00007fff6e724ab0 error 4 in php5-fpm[400000+75b000]
  [6463375.937315] php5-fpm[12676] general protection ip:7f9079aaa7ae sp:2acb364e9fa8a6e8 error:0 in libc-2.15.so[7f90799a0000+1b5000]
  [6464335.367274] php5-fpm[13456] general protection ip:6ba14f sp:7fff81fa8010 error:0 in php5-fpm[400000+75b000]

I'll attaching an /var/crash/_usr_sbin_php5-fpm.33.crash file (Set, 14).
I'll try to attach a lot of core dumps (Set, 15 and Set, 16) generated
using the php5-dbg package (with debug symbols) and send the entire
dmesg output.
