__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0xf0/0)

Without knowing what processes are being killed, my guess would be
that the system is running out of physical memory and malloc cannot
allocate anything new for these processes. Some of which may be system
processes that are required for the system to function (init?)
