2.6.9 page allocation failures

[Badari Pulavarty]

Hi,

I see following page allocation failures while running IO intensive
tests on 2.6.9. My tests didn't fail, so I guess its okay. But
I never saw this before.

Its on a 4-way AMD64 machine with 7GB RAM. Tests create 10 4GB files
on 10 disks (one filesystem per disk) in parallel. (dd if=/dev/zero ...)

Thanks,
Badari
