Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.22-12-generic-di
libraw1394 will often fail to initialize an iso recv connection with ENOMEM (e.g. myth tv recording via firewire). I've traced this down to a vmalloc failure. kernel version: Linux mythtv 2.6.22-12-generic #1 SMP Sun Sep 23 20:03:18 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux dmesg output: [98343.027489] dma_region_alloc: vmalloc_32() failed /proc/meminfo contains this about vmalloc: VmallocTotal: 34359738367 kB VmallocUsed: 26104 kB VmallocChunk: 34359712123 kB Searching for this issue on google, I've found what may be a fix, but I haven't been able to successfully compile a ubuntu release-like kernel to test it. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/18/37 Index: linux-work/mm/vmalloc.c > =================================================================== > --- linux-work.orig/mm/vmalloc.c 2007-07-18 16:22:00.000000000 +1000 > +++ linux-work/mm/vmalloc.c 2007-07-18 16:22:11.000000000 +1000 > @@ -578,9 +578,9 @@ void *vmalloc_exec(unsigned long size) > } > > #if defined(CONFIG_64BIT) && defined(CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32) > -#define GFP_VMALLOC32 GFP_DMA32 > +#define GFP_VMALLOC32 GFP_DMA32 | GFP_KERNEL > #elif defined(CONFIG_64BIT) && defined(CONFIG_ZONE_DMA) > -#define GFP_VMALLOC32 GFP_DMA > +#define GFP_VMALLOC32 GFP_DMA | GFP_KERNEL > #else > #define GFP_VMALLOC32 GFP_KERNEL > #endif ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- vmalloc occasionally fails on x86_64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148854 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
