swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x480020(GFP_ATOMIC) [...] [43154.580149] stm32-dwmac 5800a000.ethernet: fail to alloc skb entry 430 [...] [<c0232144>] (warn_alloc) from [<c02332f4>] (__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1018/0x144c) [<c02332f4>] (__alloc_pages_nodemask) from [<c02803e4>] (new_slab+0x4f0/0x5c0) [...] [<c0282e94>] (kmem_cache_alloc) from [<c0844cac>] (__build_skb+0x28/0x98) [<c0844cac>] (__build_skb) from [<c0844e6c>] (__netdev_alloc_skb+0xe8/0x138) [<c0844e6c>] (__netdev_alloc_skb) from [<c06ad700>] (stmmac_rx+0x698/0xb90) |
When the DDR is widely used, this issue could occurs if atomic allocation area is in contension. The solution would be to increase "vm.min_free_kbytes" but take care of not increasing too much this area to avoid OOM. Recommendation is min_free_kbytes = 5% of DDR size / <nr_cpus> |
