Hi, While running an application on my target hardware, an ARM based system, I am getting the following OOM message. Is there any way to circumvent this problem? Is there any fix available for the same? At times it kills some process which is not crucial for running the rest of the application, but at other times it kills the main process and everything comes to stand still. Any help to solve this problem will be highly appreciated. Regards, Abu. **************************************************************************** ********************************** oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201d2, order=0 Mem-info: DMA per-cpu: cpu 0 hot: low 2, high 6, batch 1 used:2 cpu 0 cold: low 0, high 2, batch 1 used:0 Normal per-cpu: empty HighMem per-cpu: empty Free pages: 512kB (0kB HighMem) Active:895 inactive:1154 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:128 slab:400 mapped:754 pagetables:57 DMA free:512kB min:512kB low:640kB high:768kB active:3580kB inactive:4616kB present:16384kB pages_scanned:3707 all_unreclaimable? yes lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 Normal free:0kB min:0kB low:0kB high:0kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 HighMem free:0kB min:128kB low:160kB high:192kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 DMA: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 4*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB = 512kB Normal: empty HighMem: empty Swap cache: add 0, delete 0, find 0/0, race 0+0 Free swap = 0kB Total swap = 0kB Free swap: 0kB 4096 pages of RAM 221 free pages 763 reserved pages 400 slab pages 534 pages shared 0 pages swap cached Out of Memory: Killed process 756 (portmap). **************************************************************************** ********************************** -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
