Hi all,
I'm running 2.4.28 bk snapshot of 2004.09.03 The machine has an uptime of 7 days, 23:46 now.
I was running several bittorrent clients inside of a screen session. Suddenly they all died (including the screen session). dmesg sayed this:
__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1f0/0) __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0) VM: killing process python __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0) __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0) VM: killing process screen
I already got this with kernel 2.4.27 vanilla after a higher amount of uptime (I think it was over 10 days). This was exactly the reason I updated to bk snapshot.
What can be the reason for this? Is it OOM? (I can't really believe it is). Is it a kernel memory leak?
With 2.4.26 I never got these errors. And I ran uptimes up to 50 days.
