Is there any way to find out whether the current code is being executed on behalf of any process, or whether it has been called from an interrupt? Can any such information be found out from the "current" task_struct structure? How would the current->pid field be relevant in this context? If all this can be done, then why do we have to worry about GFP_KERNEL and GFP_ATOMIC in all our kmallocs? (sigh) Couldn't this have been solved within kmalloc() itself?
