Who know this ? There are 258 pages in inactive file. Unfortunately, it seems we don't have any discardable pages. The reclaimer can't sync dirty pages to reclaim them, too. That's because we are going on GFP_ATOMIC as I mentioned. > reclaimable? no > Jul 12 23:04:54 loki kernel: lowmem_reserve[]: 0 994 994 994 > Jul 12 23:04:54 loki kernel: Node 0 DMA32 free:1388kB min:4020kB low:5024kB high:6028kB active_anon:56260kB inactive_anon:149920kB active_file:346004kB inactive_file:382252kB unevictable:16kB present:1018016 free : 1388KB min : 4020KB. In addtion, now GFP_HIGH. so calculation is as follow for zone_watermark_ok. 1388 < (4020 / 2) So failed it in zone_watermark_ok.
