Why not use the normal use kzalloc() and kfree()? That way you would not
need a separate page variable. What's the benefit from
get_zeroed_page()?


TBH I did a copy/paste here from another driver... I forget which

Also I don't see any checks for a memory allocation failure.


its there

char *p = (char*) page;

if (!p)
    return -ENOMEM;

I can V2 this for kzalloc and kfree if you prefer though
