Any chance of getting a peek at /proc/slabinfo?
Presumably increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes will help.
We seem to be always ooming when allocating scsi command structures.
Perhaps the block-level request structures are being allocated with
__GFP_WAIT, but it's a bit odd. Which I/O scheduler? If cfq, does
reducing /sys/block/*/queue/nr_requests help?
