Excuse me. kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) may sleep (and therefore cannot be used in atomic context).

Why kmalloc() and kfree() are NOT kept symmetric? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
