I > proposed a fix for that in <http://bugs.debian.org/636306#35>. I agree enabling the new feature for squeeze is not an option, but can it be considered for wheezy/sid? I assume the new feature is the Way Forward? The patch in #636306 has not been tested so far? I can not apply the patch on our production system, but I can try to see if I can reproduce the bug on a test machine. Has the patch been sent upstream? On our production system I've also increased vm.min_free_kbytes to 512MB, which I believed would reduce the number of times we're seeing these allocation failures. But it doesn't seem to help all that much. The system has 72GB ram so I could increase it to 1GB or something. Would that make sense?
