Memory allocation failure

[Kavin Ashokan]

Dear group members,

I am using stressapptest to stress my DDR along with a 32-bit Linux kernel.

I am trying to stress less than 80% of the DDR memory available but stressapptest throws

a "failed to allocate memory" message. I have shared the logs for your reference. Kindly please help me

on unblocking this issue. I am a noob to the Linux kernel environment. thanks in advance for your help.
