The main thing to check, at least on the platform I worked with the allocation came from the slabs and thus was limited to a power of 2, so if you pass the 2048 Byte you got 4096. I don't remember if that is also the case on i386 (or whatever platform you are working on) so you should check that (although if you are not doing embedded it shouldn't be much of a issue). > regards, > parag > > > > _[_h_t_t_p_:_/_/_a_d_s_._r_e_d_i_f_f_._c_o_m_/_R_e_a_l_M_e_d_i_a_/_a_d_s_/_a_d_s_t_r_e_a_m___n_x_._c_g_i_/_w_w_w_._r_e_d_i_f_f_m_a_i_l_._c_o_m_/ > _i_n_b_o_x_._h_t_m_@_B_o_t_t_o_m_] > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > This Mail Was Scanned By Mail-seCure System > at the Tel-Aviv University CC. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
