I have Debian Jessie installed on gk802 Android stick running Freescale i.MX6 quad core CPU. Often I faced issues with kernel panic when allocating pages, which leaves stick unusable.
To mitigate this issue add following to your /etc/sysctl.conf
vm.min_free_kbytes=65536
and after you have edited the file reload sysctl with command:
sysctl -p
