Subject: [HELP] OOM:Page allocation fragment issue
Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 10:59:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTinOV=tXcC-XipPzUhs-yODjnOu=8g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi, All
I got a issue that kmalloc() fails to allocate 32-K page while there
are still pretty much total memory available (60+MB).
Any suggestions? Any thing I can tune to reduced the failure cases?
It happens with 2.6.35 kernel
