First post. I'm seeing similar problems on older kernels (.24 up to .32). I didn't get any response at all, neither on linux-mm or lkml... Our problems seem very similar, but I'm running 64bit and I have 8 gigs of ram. Personally I can avoid this by tuning down my TCP settings so TCP uses less memory, but I don't think that workaround is very good, this shouldn't happen. My machine also freezes up (pressing caps lock doesn't work) sometimes, sometimes it just logs the error. > Mobo: Abit BP6, dual Celeron 366@500, i440BX chipset, 384MB PC100 > Disk: SiI 3512 PCI (sata_sil, libata), 1 x WD5000AAKS 500 GB SATAII > Kernel: vanilla 2.6.34.1, 32 bit x86, SMP, Celeron pre Coppermine > OS: Debian 5.0.5 (Stable) > Build: kernel configured via make menuconfig > no modules, no initrd > built via "make KDEB_PKGVERSION=" > installed via dpkg, bootloader is LILO > Role: headless SOHO server, run level 2, _very_ light load > Postfix, pdns-recursor, Dovecot, Lighttpd, Roundcube, Samba > bulk of system memory (>300MB) is consumed by buffers/cache > Issue: AFAIK, these errors never occurred with any revisions of > 2.6.26, .31, or .32.
