Re: Kernel panic in 2.6.35.12 kernel

[Kautuk Consul <consul.kautuk@gmail.com>]

Hi Steve,

I too have noticed this strange behaviour on my Linux ARM board.

I also have 2.6.35.12 installed and I see a similar crash when
parallel OOMs are triggerred.

I am executing multiple instances of a similar test application which
allocates a lot of anonymous memory.
OOM then starts kicking in parallel and this eventualy results in a
hang situation.

Can anyone tell me what patch to apply to solve this problem ?

Thanks,
Kautuk.
