Hi,

I am getting the Out of memory.

To circumvent the problem, I have commented the call to "out_of_memory(),
and replaced "goto restart" with "goto nopage".

At "nopage:" lable I have added a call to "schedule()" and then "return
NULL" after "schedule()".

I tried the modified kernel with a test application, the test application is
mallocing memory in a loop. Unlike as expected the process gets killed. On
second run of the same application I am getting the page allocation failure
as expected but subsequently the system hangs.

I am attaching the test application and the log herewith.

I am getting this exception with kernel 2.6.13. With kernel
2.4.19-rmka7-pxa1 there was no problem.

Why its so? What can I do to alleviate the OOM problem?

Thanks in anticipation and regards,
Abu.
