Hi, i'm using Debian SID kernel-image-2.6.11-powerpc [1] (which is not tainted). I've unfortunately started sysutils [2] memtest as user (no caps, no sticky bit).
/usr/sbin/memtest all I was expecting the OOMK to rescue my system by killing memtest. As expected, a few minutes later, my system was back. But an oops occured. Here's dmesg output : oom-killer: gfp_mask=0xd2 DMA per-cpu: cpu 0 hot: low 32, high 96, batch 16 cpu 0 cold: low 0, high 32, batch 16 Normal per-cpu: empty HighMem per-cpu: empty Free pages: 2856kB (0kB HighMem) Active:57185 inactive:57079 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:714 slab:3825 mapped:114890 pagetables:822 DMA free:2856kB min:2896kB low:3620kB high:4344kB active:228740kB inactive:228316kB present:524288kB pages_scanned:538055 all_unreclaimable? yes lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 Normal free:0kB min:0kB low:0kB high:0kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 HighMem free:0kB min:128kB low:160kB high:192kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 DMA: 0*4kB 1*8kB 32*16kB 23*32kB 3*64kB 1*128kB 1*256kB 0*512kB 1*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 2856kB Normal: empty HighMem: empty Swap cache: add 332526, delete 218150, find 72396/87670, race 0+0 Free swap = 219592kB Total swap = 976540kB Out of Memory: Killed process 2386 (memtest). memtest: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0xd2 Call trace: [c0007450] dump_stack+0x18/0x28 [c003fa2c] __alloc_pages+0x2a4/0x3e4 [c004ce80] do_anonymous_page+0x98/0x4c8 [c004d320] do_no_page+0x70/0x798 [c004dc9c] handle_mm_fault+0xe8/0x1d8 [c004afa0] get_user_pages+0x124/0x4c4 [c004de20] make_pages_present+0x88/0xbc [c004e4ec] mlock_fixup+0xe4/0xe8 [c004e5f0] do_mlock+0x100/0x104 [c004e6b8] sys_mlock+0xc4/0x114 [c0004290] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x4c Thanks.
