Are you sure of this? I have zero messages in my logs about allocation failures with GFP_KERNEL, but I do have plenty with "Only 0 free buffers remaining" with GFP_ATOMIC. Does that indicate a bug or could they fall under the ratelimit somehow? Or do I misunderstand the logic? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
