The patch titled Profiling: require buffer allocation on the correct node has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is profiling-require-buffer-allocation-on-the-correct-node.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Profiling: require buffer allocation on the correct node From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> Profiling really suffers with off node buffers. Fail if no memory is available on the nodes. The profiling code can deal with these failures should they occur.
