The problem is not what happens on your test system dedicated to this use. There it'll work. But you allowed everybody else to make the kernel request the second largest chunk of memory there is. On a otherwise busy system with fragmented memory this is not good. As I said, you want scatter/gather if you need this. There still would be the problem with the API, but if this is really a problem, you could define a new ioctl() Regards Oliver -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
