Bug#695182: linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae: Write couple of 1GB files for OOM crash
Dear Ben,
> Although PAE supports up to 64 GB RAM ... The use of such a large
> amount of high memory is problematic ...
> Or you can test ... by restricting what the kernel uses with the
> 'mem' parameter, e.g. mem=16G.
Trying various mem=XX values, no OOM was observed with mem=32G or less,
but a crash is obtained with any memory over 32GB e.g. with mem=34G.
This suggests a signed/unsigned bug more than an issue with highmem
size; you said PAE supports 64GB, not just 32GB.
> A 64-bit kernel doesn't have a split between normal and high memory.
... and it may have larger integers, less affected by signedness bugs.
Cheers, Paul
