Hi!
In usb_stor_control_msg, you are allocating memory with
GFP_KERNEL. That means that usb-storage devices are not suitable for
swapping :-(.
Try running eat_memory(); free_memory();. That should not hurt on
normal system. It kills me while swapping over usb-storage :-(.
/*
* Perform simple memory check
*/
static void **eaten_memory;
static void eat_memory(void)
{
int i = 0;
void **c= eaten_memory, *m;
printk("Eating pages ");
while ((m = get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL))) {
memset(m, 0, PAGE_SIZE);
eaten_memory = m;
if (!(i%5000))
printk( "." );
*eaten_memory = c;
c = eaten_memory;
i++;
}
printk("(%dK)\n", i*4);
}
static void free_memory(void)
{
int i = 0;
void **c = eaten_memory, *f;
printk( "Freeing pages " );
while (c) {
if (!(i%5000))
printk( "." );
f = *c;
c = *c;
if (f) { free_page( f ); i++; }
}
printk( "(%dK)\n", i*4 );
eaten_memory = NULL;
}
