kernel panic:kmem_zone_zalloc: NULL memory on KM_SLEEP request!

[marat <nospam-259928-001@xxxxxxx>]

Experts,

Recently, I had one of the xfs filesystem failed and the only  message was  :
kernel panic:kmem_zone_zalloc: NULL memory on KM_SLEEP request!  

I had to reboot machine and run xfs_repair to make files system available again.

I am using kernel 2.4.20 SMP and xfs version 1.3.0.

Any ideas, suggestions how I can avoid this problem to happen again ?

Thanks in advance,
Marat
