alloc_pages error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Under stressful conditions, I got the following dmesg mensages, repeatedly:

__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
VM: killing process python

(and for other processes)

however, the memory did not seem full:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        904148     547464     356684          0      23068      56648
-/+ buffers/cache:     467748     436400
Swap:      1052632     234388     818244

The kernel is vanilla version 2.4.32.

What is going on here?

Cheers,

Rodrigo
