The net result is that I'm getting: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1f0/0) __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0) VM: killing process rsync __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0xf0/0) in my syslog messages. Also ps shows that there's less than 100MB of memory in use by processes but nevertheless a lot of memory is gone: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 515692 481756 33936 0 37772 64600 -/+ buffers/cache: 379384 136308 Swap: 262576 36360 226216 And here is the slab information.... slabinfo - version: 1.1 kmem_cache 68 72 108 2 2 1 ip_fib_hash 9 112 32 1 1 1 packet_task 0 0 44 0 0 1 hpsb_packet 0 0 96 0 0 1 ext3_xattr 0 0 44 0 0 1 journal_head 447 1617 48 10 21 1 revoke_table 4 250 12 1 1 1 revoke_record 0 112 32 0 1 1 clip_arp_cache 0 0 128 0 0 1 ip_mrt_cache 0 0 128 0 0 1 tcp_tw_bucket 0 60 128 0 2 1 tcp_bind_bucket 18 112 32 1 1 1 tcp_open_request 0 30 128 0 1 1 inet_peer_cache 0 59 64 0 1 1 secpath_cache 0 0 128 0 0 1 xfrm_dst_cache 0 0 256 0 0 1 ip_dst_cache 23 45 256 2 3 1 arp_cache 6 30 128 1 1 1 flow_cache 0 0 128 0 0 1 blkdev_requests 2048 2070 128 69 69 1 devfsd_event 0 0 20 0 0 1 dnotify_cache 0 0 20 0 0 1 file_lock_cache 19 42 92 1 1 1 fasync_cache 0 0 16 0 0 1 uid_cache 10 112 32 1 1 1 skbuff_head_cache 400 500 192 25 25 1 sock 123 342 1344 46 114 1 sigqueue 5 29 132 1 1 1 kiobuf 0 0 64 0 0 1 cdev_cache 9 118 64 2 2 1 bdev_cache 6 59 64 1 1 1 mnt_cache 16 59 64 1 1 1 inode_cache 369522 491666 512 70224 70238 1 dentry_cache 172781 368580 128 12286 12286 1 dquot 0 0 128 0 0 1 filp 1491 1500 128 50 50 1 names_cache 0 5 4096 0 5 1 buffer_head 28502 28530 128 951 951 1 mm_struct 49 100 192 3 5 1 vm_area_struct 1820 3480 128 71 116 1 fs_cache 53 118 64 2 2 1 files_cache 48 90 448 7 10 1 signal_act 61 102 1344 24 34 1 size-131072(DMA) 0 0 131072 0 0 32 size-131072 0 0 131072 0 0 32 size-65536(DMA) 0 0 65536 0 0 16 size-65536 0 0 65536 0 0 16 size-32768(DMA) 0 0 32768 0 0 8 size-32768 0 0 32768 0 0 8 size-16384(DMA) 0 0 16384 0 0 4 size-16384 7 11 16384 7 11 4 size-8192(DMA) 0 0 8192 0 0 2 size-8192 5 12 8192 5 12 2 size-4096(DMA) 0 0 4096 0 0 1 size-4096 287 309 4096 287 309 1 size-2048(DMA) 0 0 2048 0 0 1 size-2048 97 242 2048 52 121 1 size-1024(DMA) 0 0 1024 0 0 1 size-1024 40 60 1024 12 15 1 size-512(DMA) 0 0 512 0 0 1 size-512 47 64 512 6 8 1 size-256(DMA) 0 0 256 0 0 1 size-256 22 75 256 3 5 1 size-128(DMA) 0 0 128 0 0 1 size-128 5995 6030 128 200 201 1 size-64(DMA) 0 0 64 0 0 1 size-64 7698 7729 64 131 131 1 size-32(DMA) 0 0 64 0 0 1 size-32 55711 126850 64 1172 2150 1 Servus, Daniel --Apple-Mail-25--383157599 content-type: application/pgp-signature; x-mac-type=70674453; name=PGP.sig content-description: This is a digitally signed message part content-disposition: inline; filename=PGP.sig content-transfer-encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) iQEVAwUBQI+RlTBkNMiD99JrAQIHgwf8CPjTwub+KVB31WweReHSfZmMu+9TViVc FPc2j5VM6IKSi0YEnqVXDbb4Y6D+5eVJckXEn9N4I2l0Ny93MHc9D7GS96l1+qyI /Kgcw4idUSrxDrWJFs6WiRSN5USiHxauLOqSjBWnzcTWEMhA7YDMnexFm2qoO1Iu 3kleC7019MQQGsYkovCKvgXTlhUyqP3Do8qrNV9H/FyiKW33zhu2rGrJXKT+7k7A ZU8kPJ6qhnn4W2ignLPwd1D5Y2ikYBkAm9InObZ/FBjdtFAWd8yY/NAv8z5SMD3g 1flMk2fQIGAekE1mTfUdJBFPXdT3LtT6ZXM+xo0XmBWpu6U9wEkB2w== =BNFh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail-25--383157599-- - 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/
