Hello, When allocating memory with kernel functions such as kmalloc, vmalloc, and __get_free_page(s), do these functions return memory (or pages in the case of _get_free_page(s)) that is not eligible for swapping to disk, or must I explicitly lock the pages in memory. Also, is the term 'pageable' synonymous with 'eligible for swapping'. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Peter __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
