spmi: Common Memory locked by process
The SPMI (System Performance Measurement Interface) is the interface used by any program that provides performance statistics (topas, nmon, xmperf, etc).
Steps to recycle System Performance Measurement Interface (SPMI):
1. Stop all the processes which use the SPMI shared library (xmservd,
filtd, xmperf, 3dmon, ptxrlog, harmd, topas, any PSSP process)
2. Run ipcs -m command and check for any segment “KEY” that begins
’0×78′, as listed below:
T ID KEY
m 0 0xc76283cc
m 1 0×78002323
If there are any such segments, make sure the process which uses those
shared segments is stopped, then run:
ipcrm -m
to clear up those shared memory segments.
3. Run slibclean
4. Now restart topas, or Performance Toolbox.
