I was testing some network throughput today and ran into this. I'm going to bet it's a forcedeth driver problem but since it also involve software raid I thought I'd include it. Whom should I contact regarding the forcedeth problem? The following is only an harmless informational message. Unless you get a _continuous_flood_ of these messages it means everything is working fine. Allocations from irqs cannot be perfectly reliable and the kernel is designed to handle that. md0_raid5: page allocation failure. order:2, mode:0x20 Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff802684c2>] __alloc_pages+0x324/0x33d [<ffffffff80283147>] kmem_getpages+0x66/0x116 [<ffffffff8028367a>] fallback_alloc+0x104/0x174 [<ffffffff80283330>] kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x9c/0xa8 [<ffffffff80396984>] __alloc_skb+0x65/0x138 [<ffffffff8821d82a>] :forcedeth:nv_alloc_rx_optimized+0x4d/0x18f [<ffffffff88220fca>] :forcedeth:nv_napi_poll+0x61f/0x71c [<ffffffff8039ce93>] net_rx_action+0xb2/0x1c5 [<ffffffff8023625e>] __do_softirq+0x65/0xce [<ffffffff8020adbc>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x28 [<ffffffff8020bef5>] do_softirq+0x2c/0x7d [<ffffffff8020c180>] do_IRQ+0xb6/0xd6 [<ffffffff8020a141>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa <EOI> [<ffffffff80265d8e>] mempool_free_slab+0x0/0xe [<ffffffff803fac0b>] _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x8/0x9 [<ffffffff803892d8>] bitmap_daemon_work+0xee/0x2f3 [<ffffffff80386571>] md_check_recovery+0x22/0x4b9 [<ffffffff88118e10>] :raid456:raid5d+0x1b/0x3a2 [<ffffffff8023978b>] del_timer_sync+0xc/0x16 [<ffffffff803f98db>] schedule_timeout+0x92/0xad [<ffffffff80239612>] process_timeout+0x0/0x5 [<ffffffff803f98ce>] schedule_timeout+0x85/0xad [<ffffffff80387e62>] md_thread+0xf2/0x10e [<ffffffff80243353>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [<ffffffff80387d70>] md_thread+0x0/0x10e [<ffffffff8024322c>] kthread+0x47/0x73 [<ffffffff8020aa48>] child_rip+0xa/0x12 [<ffffffff802431e5>] kthread+0x0/0x73 [<ffffffff8020aa3e>] child_rip+0x0/0x12 Mem-info: Node 0 DMA per-cpu: CPU 0: Hot: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 Cold: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 CPU 1: Hot: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 Cold: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 Node 0 DMA32 per-cpu: CPU 0: Hot: hi: 186, btch: 31 usd: 115 Cold: hi: 62, btch: 15 usd: 31 CPU 1: Hot: hi: 186, btch: 31 usd: 128 Cold: hi: 62, btch: 15 usd: 56 Active:111696 inactive:116497 dirty:31 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:1850 slab:19676 mapped:3608 pagetables:1217 bounce:0 Node 0 DMA free:3988kB min:40kB low:48kB high:60kB active:232kB inactive:5496kB present:10692kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 994 994 Node 0 DMA32 free:3412kB min:4012kB low:5012kB high:6016kB active:446552kB inactive:460492kB present:1018020kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 Node 0 DMA: 29*4kB 2*8kB 1*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 1*512kB 1*1024kB 1*2048kB 0*4096kB = 3988kB Node 0 DMA32: 419*4kB 147*8kB 19*16kB 0*32kB 1*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 3476kB Swap cache: add 57, delete 57, find 0/0, race 0+0 Free swap = 979608kB Total swap = 979832kB Free swap: 979608kB 262128 pages of RAM 4938 reserved pages 108367 pages shared 0 pages swap cached -- Jon - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
