SubjectRe: kernel 3.2.27 on arm: WARNING: at mm/page_alloc.c:2109 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1d4/0x68c()
Since I had a rare occasion to physically access the machine, I did
the following experiment: connect another machine to the serial
console, run

while true ; do date ; cat /proc/slabinfo ; echo '***' ; sleep 3 ; done

and generate lots of IPv6 traffic through the box (as I mentioned, for
some reason, a Firefox compilation through ssh seems particularly
effective). So I now have lots of slabinfo data and, beyond the
initial WARNING, I also got messages along the lines of "swapper: page
allocation failure: order:10, mode:0x4020".

I put the full log in <URL:
http://www.madore.org/~david/.tmp/pollux-dump.0
> (unfortunately a bit garbled, because sometimes the cat slabinfo
was interspaced with printk output, but there are still plenty of
usable lines of each sort).

For completeness, here's a sample message from a page allocation
failure, and a copy of /proc/slabinfo from just about that time (I
have no idea how to read this, but one thing I can say is that there
is no extraordinarily large number in this):
