alloc_pages error
From: Rodrigo Ventura
Date: Mon Jun 26 2006 - 07:44:12 EST
Under stressful conditions, I got the following dmesg mensages, repeatedly:
__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
VM: killing process python
(and for other processes)
however, the memory did not seem full:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 904148 547464 356684 0 23068 56648
-/+ buffers/cache: 467748 436400
Swap: 1052632 234388 818244
The kernel is vanilla version 2.4.32.
What is going on here?
Cheers,
Rodrigo
