Dear all, am I right that vmalloc() should not be called while a kernel module is in in_irq() or in_softirq() ? My station crashes all the time :-) To be sure that I do not run in such a problem, I must use kmalloc(,GFP_KERNEL) or kmalloc(, GFP_ATOMIC) ? Which one? In Rusty's Unreliable Kernel Hacking Guide, I only found the different semantics of the functions but not the remark on where they must not be called. Thanks for any help and explanation. -- Lukas Ruf -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
