Hello Ben,

I have still been experiencing the memory allocation failures when under heavy 
I/O. It happens especially when I run dd in the following format:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo.img bs=1440k count=10000

in a loop.

With this new kernel, now, it does not trigger OOM but the memory allocation 
failure in the driver is still seen.

I suspend the problem to be related to these bugzillas.

You make the call if this bug should remain closed or if should be reopened.


Regards,
Ritesh
