Greetings.
I have been struggling with the famous preemption patch (from Robert Love) the
past few days. Im using mpc823e
and tried with kernels 2.4.{18,21,22,23}. The patch applies flawless and so on,
but when the kernel is up and running
strange memory problems start to appear like:
_alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
Right, so... It seems like a giant memory leak of some sort, cause when I run
programs the kernel goes ballistic and
starts reaping processes:
"VM: Killing process <name>"
Eventually it comes down to "VM: killing init" and then it's curtains.
I know that these problems is caused by the patch since the kernel runs smooth
without the patch applied.
Does anyone have a clue what to do here (beside let go of the patch)?
Best regards,
Bj?rn
