Subject: help interpreting oom-killer output
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2005 15:37:53 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43308131.5040104@nortel.com> (raw)


I'm running a modified 2.6.10 on an x86 uniprocessor system.  I keep 
having processes killed by the oom killer at the same place while 
running LTP.  The system has gigs of memory, so I find this kind of odd.

Could someone help me interpret the oom-killer output?  The first log 
looks like this.


oom-killer: gfp_mask=0xd0
