Issue #2986 has been updated by tkusumi.


@dillon, thanks for this commit.

It did fix the panic, but now threads no longer get killed by oom, nor am I able to kill them.
It continues showing this shortage messages, and requires reboot in the end.

----------------------------------------
After running for 1 min or so, fio threads either get killed due to oom, or vm subsystem panics.
Both can happen and neither is rare on my environment.
I'm using master.

1. git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio
2. Make following change

3. Run below. --bsrange= may need to be changed depending on ram/swap size. In this example 100000 MiB is the size of malloc in above diff.
