Subject__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed still in -pre12
Hi,
I tried 2.4.10-pre12 and run some mysql big tests (actually
mysql/tests/fork_big.pl ). And, the load is coming up and down from 17 to
6 .... and now, it's 1.7 only and I see in dmesg:

__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x20/0) from c012e3e2
__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x20/0) from c012e3e2

Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda2 partition 2097136 41392 -1

The swap usage grew up from 11MB 40MB.

free gives:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1029776 1007360 22416 0 4548 463936
-/+ buffers/cache: 538876 490900
Swap: 2097136 41392 2055744

The system started to page-out when there were almost no buffers available
and many cached pages. The system started after bootup with cached=18k or
something like that.

I have to say I've been using for a week without any "0-order allocation
failed" patch from Marcelo. Now I see am back to the old stage. ;(
