I was running several bittorrent clients inside of a screen session. Suddenly they all died (including the screen session). dmesg sayed this: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=3D0x1f0/0) __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=3D0x1d2/0) VM: killing process python __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=3D0x1d2/0) __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=3D0x1d2/0) VM: killing process screen I already got this with kernel 2.4.27 vanilla after a higher amount of uptime (I think it was over 10 days). This was exactly the reason I updated to bk snapshot. What can be the reason for this? Is it OOM? (I can't really believe it is). Is it a kernel memory leak? With 2.4.26 I never got these errors. And I ran uptimes up to 50 days. =2D-=20 Regards Michael Buesch [ http://www.tuxsoft.de.vu ] --nextPart3599702.ivUqQrdHHC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQBBZSX9FGK1OIvVOP4RAq0+AJ44OI2/4mA2O7n2yG5///L19C74GQCVGzdP KESQbTzgdJgj/rPGXeo/wA== =5fjC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3599702.ivUqQrdHHC-- - 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/
