Hello all,
I compiled 2.3.41 yesterday on a dual P6 machine with 256MB RAM. Now I keep getting that message in syslog. It's always the same number. How could I trace what is trying to make such large allocations within the kernel ?
Please comment, I'm afraid of memory corruption, but I've seen no sign of it yet. The machine (and the RAM) is 1.5 years old and has worked flawlessly until 2.3.30.
The exact message from syslog is:
Jan 30 13:31:35 tony kernel: kmalloc: Size (33554432) too large Jan 30 13:32:04 tony last message repeated 10 times Jan 30 13:33:05 tony last message repeated 144 times Jan 30 13:34:05 tony last message repeated 200 times Jan 30 13:35:05 tony last message repeated 220 times Jan 30 13:36:05 tony last message repeated 189 times Jan 30 13:37:05 tony last message repeated 230 times
The printk of that is in /usr/src/linux/mm/slab.c:1682
thanks for your comments, Patrick
PS: .config on request. I think it's not relevant. The machine does not use PAE (obviously).
