OOM in Dovecot 2.2.13 imap
Hi,
we run Dovecot 2.2.13 on Debian Wheezy with a couple thousand mailboxes. We have two users that repeatedly trigger an OOM condition with IMAP.

Do those users have mailboxes extra ordinary large or is one message of them extra ordinary large?

this number likely mean 256MB, is one of your memory limits that large? You can see all limits with dovecot -a (note the "-a" instead of "-n"). Memory limits are vsz_limit, IMHO.
I had to increase some vsz_limits, because one particular large message caused an out of memory during LMTP.

No, not particularly. 8000 Mails (2GB total), the largest mail is 20MB.

No memory limits outside of dovecot. In dovecot there are the default settings
default_vsz_limit = 256 M service imap { [...] vsz_limit = 18446744073709551615 B }
Since the largest IMAP processes I can observe are at around 70MB VIRT (43MB RSS) I suspect vsz_limit is doing what it is supposed to do (limit memory consumption of a run-away process) and something went wrong in that mailbox. Thus the backtrace, hoping for someone to confirm.

Do you run Dovecot in High-Peformance mode or Security mode?

This is most likely because of the IMAP COMPRESS extension, which causes the output stream buffer to get really large. So the easiest fix would be to just disable imap_zlib plugin and it'll probably work. But this should get fixed properly.. I just can't figure out how this can happen. What was the IMAP client doing that caused it? Could you run a few more gdb commands:
#17 0x00007f1176e8d269 in client_output (client=0x7f11789f4470) at imap-client.c:1019
Assuming client_output is again in frame 17, run:
f 17 p *client.command_queue p *client.command_queue.next
Actually, I think these fix it:

Just as a random follow up for other people that might google this.
I also started to have this issue. I tried the two patches but they
didn't help.
I came to find out, this can also be caused from a disk full issue,
atleast when using maildir.

thanks for your answer.
we run Dovecot 2.2.13 on Debian Wheezy with a couple thousand mailboxes. We have two users that repeatedly trigger an OOM condition with IMAP.

We could easily live without IMAP COMPRESS for now, but if this backtrace confirms your suspicion we will gladly try a build with your patches applied.

Assuming client_output is again in frame 17, run:
f 17 p *client.command_queue p *client.command_queue.next .. We could easily live without IMAP COMPRESS for now, but if this backtrace confirms your suspicion we will gladly try a build with your patches applied.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure my patches will fix it. I'm planning on v2.2.14 hopefully this week, although looks like either I'd have to leave some reported bugs unfixed or delay it..
