Hi Igor,
Setting vm.max_map_count to 20x the normal value did not help
The issue happens on a group of servers and among the group, it shows up
only in servers which have ~10k server{} blocks
On servers that have lower number of server{} blocks , the ENOMEM issue is
not there
Also, I can find that the RAM usage of the Nginx process is directly
proportional to the number of server {} blocks
For example on a server having the problem
# ps_mem| head -1 && ps_mem |grep nginx
Private + Shared = RAM used Program
1.0 GiB + 2.8 GiB = 3.8 GiB nginx (3)
That is for a single worker process with 4 threads in thread_pool
# pstree|grep nginx
|-nginx-+-nginx---4*[{nginx}]
| `-nginx
Whatever config change I try the memory usage seem to mostly depend on the
number of server contexts defined
Now the issue mostly happen in nginx reload ,when one more worker process
will be active in shutting down mode
I believe the memalign error is thrown by the worker being shutdown, this
is because the sites work after the error and also the pid mentioned in the
error would have gone when I check ps
# pmap 948965|grep 16K

The only correlation I see in having the error is the number of server {}
blocks (close to 10k) which then makes the nginx process consume ~ 4GB of
mem with a single worker process and then a reload is done
