nfsd: Dropping request due to malloc failure!

[Fabrice Coudert]

Hi,

I'm experiencing small freeze when mounting nfsv4 share. When it occurs,  it 
drop this line on the log :

May 21 21:06:53 babel kernel: [1305627.303164] nfsd: Dropping request due to 
malloc failure!

Then, after 2 to 4 seconds, the mounting continues normally.

I dunno what to look next. 
Any help will be a greatly appreciated.


My setup is ubuntu Feisty, kernel 2.6.20-generic, nfs 1.0.12-4, mount                             
2.12r-17ubuntu2, same on the client and the server.
