Seems like you've got little or no anon pages left, so 1GB free swap is no problem (nothing left to page out). > 4G RAM, 1G swap partition, normally LTP survives during much, much higher > load. I would hope it is not a memory leak (which might point to lockless pagecache). It doesn't look like it because there is still lots of inactive file pages, so that points to the page reclaim changes (which is not to say page reclaim changes couldn't cause a memory leak themselves). Curious: if you kill off all the LTP tests after the OOM condition, what does your /proc/meminfo look like before and after running sync ; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
