Page allocation errors
In my case the error always appears to be in the IP stack, so I wonder if there's some Xen level issue. It also seems to be coincidentally with my home machine doing an rsync of my /BACKUP directory, which might explain why the stacks are display tcp4 entries. Note the process ID…
eg

@theckman:
Try switching to our Latest 3.0 kernel. We recently deployed a new kernel that should help with this.
I'm running CentOS 5.7; how much testing has been done with this older OS and the new kernel? I don't want to be a guinea pig:-)
Seriously, though, I always thought that the pid would always increment by one with every process spawned on a system, and that the pid should always start with 1, which should only be used by the first ever process spawned on the system when the OS initially starts booting? O.o First time I ever seen that
@Piki:
I never thought I'd see the day when root became a process…

:)
Exactly; the error is showing from kernel allocation failures and not userspace overloading; this isn't a typical OOM error, no process is failing:-)
Actually, I remember seeing somewhere that it had to do with the 20 year anniversary of the kernel.

Yes and no. It fixed the panic problem that you were having. Now that that has been resolved your Linode is OOMing instead like it should. Tune up your memory usage a bit and you should be good to go.

The body of the trace looks similar to an issue we saw with the amount of RAM the kernel was reserving. What does "sysctl vm.minfreekbytes" show? Is it less than 16384? If so that was supposed to be fixed already. If not that means more digging.

I think you're confusing me with someone else. I was not panic()ing and wasn't OOMing. The kernel was giving page allocation faults inside the kernel itself whenever I rsync (over ssh) my /BACKUP directory back home.

I wonder what's different about the linode kernels; on my Panix v-colo (Xen based, equiv to a linode512) the value is 2882, and this problem never seems to show.
@caker:
sweh - reboot into Latest 3.0 if you haven't already, and try bumping vm.minfreekbytes to 4096 or more. Let us know if that fixes it.

Nope! Still doing it…

The dump appears to be the same as previous message.
My temporar solution is to use older kernel and time to time to restart apache/nginx/memcached. Because over time kernel moves some data to swap even when there is plenty of ram and at one point it starts to OOM without aparent reason. However that is not bulletproof solution - after about a week or so server stops any traffic and in lish i can see a lot of UFW messages.
I hope that next kernel will fix whatever is causing this.

On the first system (1dc9), note the spike on September 23… that happens to correspond to a full backup rsync, but there was also one on September 6. For the second system (ce69), there was also a full backup rsync on September 23. (I was testing the backup server that day.)

And I haven't seen any page allocation errors in the past 2 days, either.
Coincidence?
A scrollback through my recent few half-dozen PAFs shows many mentions of IPv4-related things in the call trace. Also, in my histogrammetric(*) analysis, I mentioned I was testing the backup server… you wanna know what I was testing? Moving the rsyncs from IPv4 to IPv6. Post-IPv6, no more spikes…
Both of these servers have a fair bit of IPv4 traffic (~130 packets/second for one, and probably within an order of magnitude for the other, although it is not yet graphed). Obviously, not as much IPv6 traffic yet.
If it is IPv4-related, then great news! It will fix itself within the next century!
(*) i just made that word up
I recently enabled IPv6 on a linode, and used the reboot to switch to a version 3 kernel at the same time. Everything was running fine, except one remote system could not connect anymore to exchange data. Problem was obvious: the system was now trying to connect via IPv6, but that particular service was not set up to accept IPv6 connections.
I took the easy way out, and told the remote system to always use IPv4 to connect. The system could now connect, but I started getting log messages similar to those others have posted.
Thought at first it might be related to vm.minfreekbytes being too low (had similar problem on another linode months ago, with an older kernel). So I upped that. But the log messages persisted.
Then I found this thread. Will now change the service to accept IPv6 connections, and see what happens.
Of course, it's pretty worrying if there's a problem with IPv4 connections. I'll hold off updating the kernel on my web-serving linodes. They already do IPv6, but use older kernels.
I'm running latest 3.0 kernel (3.0.4-linode38) with Debian Squeeze 32bit on a 512mb Linode.
Have increased minfreekbytes to 4096 as suggested and will see if that fixes the problem…
this thread
And indeed, it is seemingly based on IPv4 traffic somehow. Usually swapper/kswapd0 is the process implicated, but I've also seen sshd, rsync, munin-graph (?), iostat (!?)… all with ipv4_confirm et al in the stack trace.
And, if you have a high level of iowaits, check if you can reduce the disk contention - then you may "sneak past" with lower value of minfreekbytes.
No IPV6… maybe it's not disabled completely? maybe I need to go to a different kernel… I dun know for sure but help
@MotoHoss:
I am bumping it as well. Same for me. NJ Linode uname -r returns 3.0.18-linode43
No IPV6… maybe it's not disabled completely? maybe I need to go to a different kernel… I dun know for sure but help
:x
The errors are likely related to IPv4 traffic; moving more traffic to IPv6 reduced the errors for me, at least. Also, are you experiencing any actual problems related to this? I haven't yet heard of anyone actually having a problem, aside from seeing errors.
I upped vm.minfreekbytes (5120 was 4096) and shut off a daemon that was using _way too much ram and was really idle (not used). I'll see if the errors at least slow down. I hope my attempts at being prudent aren't disturbing an otherwise great forum I just don't want this to escalate into a 'shark byte' .. just because I only thought it was a 'red herring'.
The upgrade process certainly wasn't without its frustrating issues, breaking stuff from MySQL to Postfix. Heck, even PHP was complaining, thanks to suhosin. But I finally thought I got all the problems wrangled. Except this one. And it's pretty much the same'ol thing:
kernel: swapper: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0x20
kernel: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.18-linode43 #1
(etc)
I tried changing vm.minfreekbytes but that made no difference. And I honestly don't know if this error is causing any kind of problem or not. Does it mean a process is requesting more memory than is available, and then when it tries to swap, there's a failure, and then maybe the allocation request in the program simply returns an error/null? I haven't seen anything else crashing, so I just don't know what the consequence is.
Anyhoo, just wanted to add myself to the list of people with the potential problem.
vm.min_free_kbytes = 5120.
incidentally I have a linode 512
@FyberOptic:
Does it mean a process is requesting more memory than is available, and then when it tries to swap, there's a failure, and then maybe the allocation request in the program simply returns an error/null?
No. This is happening in kernel space, not user space. My linode has more free memory than used memory by an order of magnitude (used 55, free 439… I have a lot of IO buffers!). I think pid0 is just being displayed because it's a kernel thread and not related to a user process.
i've update with sysctl and added the value to sysctl.conf.
Then applied sysctl -p.
Do I need to reboot too?
thanks?
I have upgraded to kernel 2.6.x and 3.x several times and eventually downgraded to the legacy 2.6.18 for this swapper error.
Latest 3.0 and 3.1 , as well as 3.2 all have the same symptom. Not OOM.

vm.min_free_kbytes = 5120
And have not seen an error since.
From syslog:
–
kernel: nginx: page allocation failure. order:2, mode:0x20
kernel: Pid: 5003, comm: nginx Not tainted 2.6.39.1-linode34 #1
--
Doing as suggest:
vm.minfreekbytes=5120
Not getting the debugging error on syslog since.
2.6.39.1-linode34? That's really old, and subject to a serious security vulnerability

Thanks for heads up. I have checked on the security issue relating to kernel version 2.6.39.

Vulnerability Summary for CVE-2012-0056
The mem_write function in Linux kernel 2.6.39 and other versions, when ASLR is disabled, does not properly check permissions when writing to /proc/
I have also run the exploit (mempodipper)-
on my linodes with a normal login account and did not gain root shell.
pentester@mercury:~$ whoami && id
pentester
uid=1012(pentester) gid=1011(pentester) groups=1011(pentester)
pentester@mercury:~$ ./mempodipper

Confirmed this vulnerability on Debian -
pentester@mercury:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 (squeeze)
Release: 6.0.5
Codename: squeeze
This raise lower concerns for now as it's only locally exploitable and I am the only user accessible to shell, non logins and system accts are properly secured. Have additional security measures with filesystem quotas, shell limits, and OSSEC HIDS (syscheck, rootkits detect, file changes, log monitoring, alerts and responses). I am actively looking into the security of my linodes with nmap and nessus scans.

Thanks, I am considering using newer kernels when I order for new linodes.

I found a post that seems to imply that it's a problem with Linode's Xen configuration, not something that we can change ourselves.
So is this just a scary message or does it have real consequences?
"Real world consequence" is a dropped packet, which will get retransmitted like after any other tiny networking blip.
Increasing the vmfreekbytes setting reserves a larger in-RAM buffer for various operations like this, reducing the chance you'll run into this error.
Does someone with this problem want to try:
ethtool -K eth0 lro off
