Hello,

This may not be related directly to Lustre, but here's what I get when I 
try to mount our Lustre filesystem on one of our compute node running 
CentOS 7:


Oct 29 14:30:20 gpu-node8 kernel: SLUB: Unable to allocate memory on 
node -1 (gfp=0x8050)

I've been scratching my head on this one because this could just be a 
kernel bug but we have 3 other identical servers running the exact same 
versions of CentOS 7 and Lustre client and I got no problem with them.

Some more info:

[root at gpu-node8 ~]# uname -r
3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64

[root at gpu-node8 ~]# lctl --version
lctl 2.12.7

[root at gpu-node8 ~]# vmstat -m |grep dm_rq_target_io
dm_rq_target_io              60     60    136     30

[root at gpu-node8 ~]# free -h
               total        used        free      shared buff/cache   
available
Mem:            31G        1.4G         29G         10M 117M         29G
Swap:           15G          0B         15G


I've been playing with the sysctl parameters but I don't really know 
what I'm doing and got no result anyway:

sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1

sysctl vm.min_free_kbytes=90112

sysctl vm.overcommit_kbytes=90112


Any help would be greetly appreciated.

Thanks!
