Kernel panic - not syncing: System is deadlocked on memory An OoM panic was reported, there were only native processes which are non-killable as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. After looking into the dump, I've found the dma-buf system heap was trying to allocate a huge size. It seems to be a signed negative value. dma_heap_ioctl_allocate(inline) | heap_allocation = 0xFFFFFFC02247BD38 -> ( | len = 0xFFFFFFFFE7225100, Actually the old ion system heap had policy which does not allow that huge size with commit c9e8440eca61 ("staging: ion: Fix overflow and list bugs in system heap"). We need this change again. Single allocation should not be bigger than half of all memory.
