SubjectRe: OOM killer, page fault
From
Hi Kim, hi all,

(still please Cc)

sorry for the late reply. I have two news, one good and one bad: The good
being that I can reproduce the bug by running VirtualBox with some W7
within. Anyway, I don't have a trace or better debug due to the bad news:
Both 2.6.32-rc5 and 2.6.32-rc6 do *not* boot with the patch below.
Don't ask me why, please, and I don't have a serial/net console so that
I can tell you more, but the booting hangs badly at:
[ 6.657492] usb 4-1: Product: Globetrotter HSDPA Modem
[ 6.657494] usb 4-1: Manufacturer: Option N.V.
[ 6.657496] usb 4-1: SerialNumber: Serial Number
[ 6.657558] usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 6.837364] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input6
[ 6.853693] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input7

Normally it continues like that, but with the patch below it hangs here
and does not continue. I need to Sysrq-s/u/b out of it.

I know it sounds completely crazy, the patch only does harmless things
afais. But I tried it. Several times. rc6+patch never did boot, while
rc5 without path did boot. Then I patched it into -rc5, recompiled, and
boom, no boot. booting into .31.5, recompiling rc6 and rc5 without
that patch and suddenly rc6 boots (and I am sure rc5, too).

Sorry that I cannot give more infos, please let me know what else I can
do.

Ah yes, I can reproduce the original strange bug with oom killer!

Best wishes

Norbert
