Hi
Allthough there is still about one forth of memory available (7976kB
among 32MB), oom-killer is invoked and makes a victim.
What could be the reason and how could it be solved ?

Looks like this is because the allocation is order-1, likely the
allocation of a struct task_struct for a new process on fork.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The allocation is order 1, yes,
does it explains why OOM killer is invoked ?
Well, not really
[ 54.437414] DMA: 460*4kB (UH) 201*8kB (UH) 121*16kB (UH) 43*32kB (UH) 10*64kB (U) 4*128kB (UH) 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB 0*8192kB = 7912kB`
You should have enough order-1+ pages to proceed.
So, order is 1 so order - 1 is 0, what's wrong then ? Do the (UH) and
(U) means anything special ? Otherwise, just above it says 'free:1994',
so with 1994 pages free I should have enough to proceed, shouldn't I ?
Am I missing something ?
