The IRLM system uses an RLE control block for keeping track of lock owners and
waiters. There is a finite number of these control blocks available. If the
utilization of this area goes to 100%, then requests for locks in the IRLM will
fail causing either delays in the applications or termination of those
applications. The applications currently holding the locks should be verified
to make sure they are acting properly and releasing the locks after they are
done with the pages.
