How to interpret this OOM situation?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey there,

I wouldn't know where to turn anymore, maybe you guys can help me debug this
OOM.

Questions aside from "why in the end is this happening":
- GFP mask lower byte 0xa indicates a request for a free page in highmem.
This is a 64-bit system and therefore has no highmem zone. So what's going on?
- Swap is almost not used: why not use it before OOMing?
- Pagecache is high: why not empty it before OOMing? (almost no dirty pages)

Oh and it's a machine with 4G of RAM on kernel 3.0.101 (SLES11 SP3).

Ok, it wants to swap in sth but fails because apparently there is no more
physical memory.

There seems to be a lot of fragmentation. But since an order 0 page (4k) was
requested (in highmem!?), and tons of those are available, that wouldn't
matter, would it?

That's more than 1G of pagecache. Shouldn't it first lower that cache before
throwing OOM?
