For fundamental reasons it's always possible for non-sleeping allocations to fail. I think this warning just needs to be rate-limited, if it isn't already ... OTOH, failed allocations could serve as a hint for kswapd to try to keep more memory free. I should look into that for some next version. regards, Rik -- Bravely reimplemented by the knights who say "NIH". http://www.surriel.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
