SubjectRe: OOM triggered with plenty of memory free
This post ties up a few loose ends in this thread which remained after my
21 March 2013 post.

* The memory leak was not present in 2.6.36.

* The patch to 2.6.35.11 at the end of this email (based on
48e6b121605512d87f8da1ccd014313489c19630 from linux-stable) resolves the
memory leak in 2.6.35.11.

This gives us a workable solution while we await fixes to current mainline
in the r8169 driver. Once that's done we can revalidate our systems against
a more recent kernel and start shipping that.

Thanks to those who assisted with this issue.

Regards
jonathan
