RE: Commenting out out_of_memory() function in __alloc_pages()

but I am running the application on an embedded device and have no swap..
what do I need to do in this case??

Use less memory ?

You can play with /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_ratio. That is set at 50%
which is usually a good safe value with swap. If you know the kernel and
kernel memory will be 20% of memory worst case you can set it to 80 and
so on.
