I still can' t reproduce failed memory allocation without an oom. Maybe there' s some other variable to tune...
I am using this program to stress kswapd:
main() { char *p[20]; int i, j; for (j=0; j<20; j++) { p[j] = (char *) malloc(1000000); } for (;;) for (j=0; j<20; j++) { for (i=0; i<1000000; i++) p[j][i] = 0; } }
I am launching in background many of this proggy until there is only 10 mbyte free in the swap (58mbyte of swap total).
