The way sg_low_malloc() tries to allocate, failure messages are
pretty much garanteed. It tries high order allocations (which
are unreliable even when not stressed) and backs off until it
succeeds.
In other words, the messages are a red herring.

Hi,

I've made a patch which adds usb support for the philips

only the rush specific parts were modified.
The patch is against 2.4.2.
It uses char 180 65 at /dev/usb/rush.

Hello,
It seems like linux replaces sock with tcp_tw_bucket structure in the
sock list in order to "work around the memory consumption problems for
the heavilly loaded server".
The header file tcp.h has some comments before declaring
"tcp_tw_bucket" structure. It is done in tcp_input.c.

With my 384M ram i was not able te reproduce it.
With "mem=32M" linux hang while starting a test oracle-db.
However i tried (not repeated tests, and after a f

Hello,
any 2.4.1-ac5 kernel and above until 2.4.2-ac3 had a bug (Ingo guessed
it might be the yield() bug) that made Java (and some other things
*really* slow). This is fixed now. When I profiled slow kernels the
mtrr_file_add was taking up all of the time - even though I had
disabled mtrr in my
