Let's say I load a kernel module that has this line in it: module_init(mymod_init); At the time that mymod_init() is called, can I be sure that the entire module code and static data is stored in physical RAM? If I call: save_flags(flags); cli(); inside mymod_init(), I'm preventing page swaps from happening, right? Can I assume that all my static data is accessible in RAM?
