Not exactly from one of the previous OOM messages:

DMA: 1*4kB 1*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 1*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 1*512kB 1*1024kB 1*2048kB 0*4096kB = 3916kB
DMA32: 576*4kB 15*8kB 1*16kB 0*32kB 1*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 1*512kB 1*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 4296kB

It looks like something goes wrong with the buddy system?

Thanks,
Fengguang
