Hmm, spanning <30MB of memory... how much vmalloc space do you have?


From the original report:

VmallocTotal: 122880 kB
VmallocUsed: 15184 kB
VmallocChunk: 83764 kB

So it seems there's quite a bit of free space.

Chunk is the largest free contiguous region, right? If so, it seems the problem is unrelated to guard pages, instead the search isn't finding a 1-page area (with two guard pages) for some reason, even though lots of free space is available.
