From 781b2ba6eb5f22440afac9c79a89ebd6e3674a60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pekka Enberg Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:50:32 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] SLUB: Out-of-memory diagnostics As suggested by Mel Gorman, add out-of-memory diagnostics to the SLUB allocator to make debugging OOM conditions easier. This patch helped hunt down a nasty OOM issue that popped up every now that was caused by SLUB debugging code which forced 4096 byte allocations to use order 1 pages even in the fallback case. An example print out looks like this: SLUB: Unable to allocate memory on node -1 (gfp=20) cache: kmalloc-4096, object size: 4096, buffer size: 4168, default order: 3, min order: 1 node 0: slabs: 95, objs: 665, free: 0 Acked-by: Christoph Lameter Acked-by: Mel Gorman Tested-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg --- Reading git-format-patch failed
