Description (last modified by )
I'm seeing occasional page allocation failures on Linux (2.6.39.3) host. The server is 1 x Xeon E5620 / 12G RAM. Linux distro is Gentoo.
These allocation failures seem to be non-fatal, as guest continue to work.
The VM has one NIC (82545EM) bridged to hosts' br0 interface.
I've tried to increase vm.min_free_kbytes to 540672 to decrease VM pressure, but it had no effect.
I've read changelog to 4.0.12, and it does not mention such errors as fixed, so i think the bug is there too.

After posting, discovered that host's console was unresponsive, and other VMs became unstable as well.
Attempting to shutdown the affected guest caused it to hang in "Stopping" state, unable to power it down.
Host completely locked up after attempting to reboot via reboot command, ended up manually power cycling the host.

I am also seeing this issue.
VBoxHeadless: page allocation failure. order:9, mode:0x344d2Host: Ubuntu 11.04 x64 Server (kernel 2.6.38.10-server) running on i7-2600 w/ 16GB RAM Guest Ubuntu 10.10 x32, 384MB Ram, 1 CPU
Guest continued to run, but network connectivity lost.
I've also noticed what appears to be random data corruption in the guests from time to time, which seems to be related to data passed through the virtual NIC, but I have no evidence or logs relating to this. VBox.log doesn't seem to show anything interesting, syslog has details of the event. I am attaching both files.
