I really cannot tell but I never ever saw this before and i'm using all of my patches for several years. Here are all patches which i'm using right now (+ your patch): http://watchdog.sk/lkml/patches3 >Are there OOM kill messages in the syslog? Here is full kernel log between 6:00 and 7:59: http://watchdog.sk/lkml/kern6.log >> What do you think? I'm now running kernel with your previous patch, not with the newest one. > >Which one exactly? Can you attach the diff? I meant, the problem above occured on kernel with your latest patch: http://watchdog.sk/lkml/7-2-memcg-fix.patch but after i had to reboot the server i booted the kernel with your previous patch: http://watchdog.sk/lkml/7-1-memcg-fix.patch azur -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
