Could this be a problem with the size increase? The machine only has 32MB of RAM, so it's possible that the multiplatform-enabled kernel with DT support etc pushes it over the edge, especially with an initramfs. My configuration is clearly a bit different from yours, so I tried giving it a larger initramfs file, which randomly crashes elsewhere for me: [ 0.648659] pxa2xx-uart.0: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x40100000 (irq = 38, base_baud = 928571) is a UART1 [ 0.697984] kworker/u2:0 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x100cca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE), order=0, oom_score_adj=0 [ 0.698278] CPU: 0 PID: 7 Comm: kworker/u2:0 Not tainted 5.18.0-rc1-00109-gee927ad51300-dirty #52 [ 0.698382] Hardware name: Zipit Z2 [ 0.698520] Workqueue: events_unbound async_run_entry_fn [ 0.699063] unwind_backtrace from show_stack+0x18/0x1c [ 0.699148] show_stack from dump_header+0x68/0x254 [ 0.699186] dump_header from out_of_memory+0x474/0x4f0 [ 0.699208] out_of_memory from __alloc_pages+0xa0c/0xb84 [ 0.699227] __alloc_pages from shmem_getpage_gfp.constprop.0+0x270/0x9e0 [ 0.699247] shmem_getpage_gfp.constprop.0 from generic_perform_write+0xd8/0x210 [ 0.699268] generic_perform_write from __generic_file_write_iter+0x130/0x198 [ 0.699286] __generic_file_write_iter from generic_file_write_iter+0x64/0xd0 [ 0.699302] generic_file_write_iter from __kernel_write+0x114/0x2b0 [ 0.699321] __kernel_write from kernel_write+0x68/0x194 [ 0.699337] kernel_write from xwrite+0x3c/0x78 [ 0.699363] xwrite from do_copy+0xc0/0x11c [ 0.699381] do_copy from write_buffer+0x2c/0x44 [ 0.699397] write_buffer from flush_buffer+0x3c/0xa0 [ 0.699413] flush_buffer from __gunzip+0x2a4/0x364 [ 0.699434] __gunzip from gunzip+0x2c/0x34 [ 0.699449] gunzip from unpack_to_rootfs+0x19c/0x304 [ 0.699465] unpack_to_rootfs from do_populate_rootfs+0x6c/0x1dc [ 0.699483] do_populate_rootfs from async_run_entry_fn+0x44/0x1a0 [ 0.699502] async_run_entry_fn from process_one_work+0x1e8/0x544 [ 0.699520] process_one_work from worker_thread+0x34/0x578 [ 0.699579] worker_thread from kthread+0xdc/0x114 [ 0.699599] kthread from ret_from_fork+0x14/0x2c [ 0.699651] Exception stack(0xc2821fb0 to 0xc2821ff8) [ 0.699711] 1fa0: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [ 0.699731] 1fc0: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [ 0.699744] 1fe0: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000013 00000000 [ 0.699801] Mem-Info: [ 0.699889] active_anon:90 inactive_anon:674 isolated_anon:0 [ 0.699889] active_file:0 inactive_file:0 isolated_file:0 [ 0.699889] unevictable:0 dirty:0 writeback:0 [ 0.699889] slab_reclaimable:0 slab_unreclaimable:1691 [ 0.699889] mapped:0 shmem:771 pagetables:0 bounce:0 [ 0.699889] kernel_misc_reclaimable:0 [ 0.699889] free:207 free_pcp:37 free_cma:0 [ 0.699986] Node 0 active_anon:360kB inactive_anon:2696kB active_file:0kB inactive_file:0kB unevictable:0kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB mapped:0kB dirty:0kB writeback:0kB shmem:3084kB writeback_tmp:0kB kernel_stack:192kB pagetables:0kB all_unreclaimable? yes [ 0.700116] Normal free:828kB boost:1024kB min:1464kB low:1572kB high:1680kB reserved_highatomic:0KB active_anon:360kB inactive_anon:2696kB active_file:0kB inactive_file:0kB unevictable:0kB writepending:0kB present:32768kB managed:12232kB mlocked:0kB bounce:0kB free_pcp:148kB local_pcp:148kB free_cma:0kB [ 0.700177] lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 [ 0.700247] Normal: 3*4kB (UM) 2*8kB (UM) 2*16kB (M) 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB (M) 1*512kB (M) 0*1024kB = 828kB Arnd
