You forgot the sugar on top :) Anyway 2.6.8.1 also seems to behave now.. I do get a few 'kswapd0: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x20' but the system doesn't OOM kill and it recovers after the expunge. Although I think it recovers a tad slower than 2.6.9-rc1-bk3 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
