I think that line comes from an ARM32 beaglebone-X15 machine showing the same symptom. The i386 line from the log file that Naresh linked to at https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1406110#L1223 is less unusual: [ 34.931663] Node 0 active_anon:21464kB inactive_anon:8688kB active_file:16604kB inactive_file:849976kB unevictable:0kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB mapped:25284kB dirty:58952kB writeback:27772kB shmem:8944kB writeback_tmp:0kB unstable:0kB all_unreclaimable? yes [ 34.955523] DMA free:3356kB min:68kB low:84kB high:100kB reserved_highatomic:0KB active_anon:0kB inactive_anon:0kB active_file:0kB inactive_file:11964kB unevictable:0kB writepending:11980kB present:15964kB managed:15876kB mlocked:0kB kernel_stack:0kB pagetables:0kB bounce:0kB free_pcp:0kB local_pcp:0kB free_cma:0kB [ 34.983385] lowmem_reserve[]: 0 825 1947 825 [ 34.987678] Normal free:3948kB min:7732kB low:8640kB high:9548kB reserved_highatomic:0KB active_anon:0kB inactive_anon:0kB active_file:1096kB inactive_file:786400kB unevictable:0kB writepending:65432kB present:884728kB managed:845576kB mlocked:0kB kernel_stack:1112kB pagetables:0kB bounce:0kB free_pcp:2908kB local_pcp:500kB free_cma:0kB [ 35.017427] lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 8980 0 [ 35.021362] HighMem free:1049496kB min:512kB low:1748kB high:2984kB reserved_highatomic:0KB active_anon:21464kB inactive_anon:8688kB active_file:15508kB inactive_file:51612kB unevictable:0kB writepending:0kB present:1149540kB managed:1149540kB mlocked:0kB kernel_stack:0kB pagetables:712kB bounce:0kB free_pcp:1524kB local_pcp:292kB free_cma:0kB [ 35.051717] lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 0 [ 35.055374] DMA: 8*4kB (UE) 1*8kB (E) 1*16kB (E) 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB (E) 0*512kB 1*1024kB (E) 1*2048kB (E) 0*4096kB = 3384kB [ 35.067446] Normal: 27*4kB (U) 23*8kB (U) 12*16kB (UE) 12*32kB (U) 4*64kB (UE) 2*128kB (U) 2*256kB (UE) 1*512kB (E) 0*1024kB 1*2048kB (U) 0*4096kB = 4452kB [ 35.081347] HighMem: 2*4kB (UM) 0*8kB 1*16kB (M) 2*32kB (UM) 1*64kB (U) 0*128kB 1*256kB (M) 1*512kB (M) 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 256*4096kB (M) = 1049496kB Arnd
