It seems that protection is not enough. ---------- [ 118.584571] fork invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x27000c0(GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT|__GFP_NOTRACK), order=2, oom_score_adj=0 [ 118.586684] fork cpuset=/ mems_allowed=0 [ 118.588254] CPU: 2 PID: 9565 Comm: fork Not tainted 4.5.0-rc4-next-20160216+ #306 [ 118.589795] Hardware name: VMware, Inc.
