vboxdrv runs kernel out of memory — at Initial Version

Reported by: Daryll Strauss Owned by:
Component: network/hostif Version: VirtualBox 3.1.6
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Linux

Description

It appears that performing a lot of network traffic with the host computer while a VirtualBox image is running can cause the kernel to run out of memory.

Host: Running latest Fedora 12 kernel 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.x86_64

Guest: Running Fedora 11 bridged networking

Export a file system from the host computer Mount the file system on a non-guest computer Write a bunch of files to the file system from the non-guest

Eventually the host computer starts to crash as the slab fails to allocate memory. Repeated the test three times and reproduced the problem each time. Stopped running the virtual machine and ran the same test and it worked fine.

I'm attaching one of the oops' when this happened.
