Subject: iwl3945: order 5 allocation during ifconfig up; vm problem?
Date: Sun, 9 Sep 2012 23:32:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120909213228.GA5538@elf.ucw.cz> (raw)
Hi!
On 3.6.0-rc2+, I tried to turn on the wireless, but got
root@amd:~# ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.6 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory
root@amd:~#
It looks like it uses "a bit too big" allocations to allocate
firmware...? Order five allocation....
Hmm... then I did "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" and now the
network works. Is it VM problem that it failed to allocate memory when
it was freeable?
