What is max vmalloc size

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



    Hello,
 I tried to allocate (vmalloc) huge (512MB) memory block inside my
init_module(),
but without success. It is possible to get about 48MB only. I work on
Pentium
SMP, 1GB RAM, RedHat-6.2 with kernel 2.2.18. Is there some restrictions
on
vmalloc'ed size? I need non-swapped memory block, of course.
 Thank you in advance!
                                     Regards, Yuri Petukhov
