Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Xen on x86_64 and "Could not allocate 8 bytes percpu data" kernel messages: msg#00042

Subject: Xen on x86_64 and "Could not allocate 8 bytes percpu data" kernel messages
I've just booted an Opteron HP Proliant server into 2.6.15-1.1955_FC5hypervisor fo x86_64.

The machine has booted and network communications are working, but there were a couple of suspicious messages on the console during bootup:

"Could not allocate 8 bytes percpu data"

Here's a longer excerpt from the logs:

Feb 17 14:04:46 domzero2 kernel: EXT3 FS on cciss/c0d0p3, internal journal
Feb 17 14:04:46 domzero2 kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Feb 17 14:04:46 domzero2 kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev cciss/c0d0p3, type ext3), uses xattr Feb 17 14:04:46 domzero2 kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev binfmt_misc, type binfmt_misc), uses genfs_contexts Feb 17 14:04:46 domzero2 kernel: ip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team

Feb 17 14:04:46 domzero2 kernel: tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.
Feb 17 14:04:46 domzero2 kernel: Could not allocate 8 bytes percpu data

Feb 17 14:05:12 domzero2 kernel: Bridge firewalling registered
Feb 17 14:11:54 domzero2 kernel: Could not allocate 8 bytes percpu data


Are those messages dangerous?
