Hey, I have to allocate small amounts of memory (lots of strings actually) ranging from 1 byte to 200-300 bytes (or can be more also!) in kernel-space. If i use kmalloc that would allocate memory in terms of "pages" ..right? So that would waste too much memory. How should i allocate memory for this purpose then? all these strings are allocated a different times, and their size can change. Ideas? -Anks -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
