I'm getting dropped rx packets because the network driver cannot allocate an skbuf in time, evidently.... I have 256MB of RAM, is there some way to increase the amount of RAM that the kernel keeps around for GFP_ATOMIC allocations? Documentation I find talks about buffermem and freepages, which looks hopeful, but they appear to no longer be in the proc file system as tunables???
