I'm trying to write a usb driver. When I try to send a message to the usb device with either memory allocated at compile time or memory allocated with vmalloc (I'm allocating more than a page, so I thought vmalloc was better than kmalloc in this instance), the memory allocated at compile time doesn't work at all, and the memory allocated with vmalloc seems to come back corrupted. kmalloc seems to work in these cases, but I'm limited in the amount of memory I can allocate with kmalloc. I would like to use the memory being allocated by rvmalloc which can be found in the bttv and cpia drivers, but this doesn't work either (since it uses vmalloc_32 to allocate its memory). Can someone explain why this is or possibly even tell me how to get around it? Thanks. John -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
