Bug#695182: linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae: Write couple of 1GB files for OOM crash

[paul.szabo@sydney.edu.au]

Dear Ben,

In the OOM message in my initial bug report, I see
  Normal ... slab_reclaimable:261528kB ... all_unreclaimable? yes
Is that a contradiction? Should not that slab have been reclaimed?
Original line:
[  744.754369] Normal free:43788kB min:44112kB low:55140kB high:66168kB active_anon:0kB inactive_anon:0kB active_file:912kB inactive_file:0kB unevictable:0kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB present:887976kB mlocked:0kB dirty:0kB writeback:0kB mapped:4kB shmem:0kB slab_reclaimable:261528kB slab_unreclaimable:28812kB kernel_stack:3096kB pagetables:0kB unstable:0kB bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:16060 all_unreclaimable? yes

Thanks, Paul
