get_free_pages ??

Hi all,

Just a small confusion.

Does the get_free_pages(), allocate memory in terms of "order" or in terms of "pages"?
To be more clear, can I precisely get 12(say) pages memory allocated or will it always be in
power of two, so that even if I give a size of 12K , I get 16K ??


TIA
Regards
Ketan
