Hi everyone:
in the 2.6 kernel:
1- what is the maximum size i can kmalloc it in kernel ?
2- what is the maximum size that netlink socket is capable of sending in
one shot ?
i've googled but the results was an out of date articles (latest was
2002) so i'm not sure that the limitation they were mentioning is still
exists (the articles where saying about 2Mb of maximum malloc size in
kernel 2.2 2.3)
if you wanna know why should i need large kmalloc and large netlink msg
size cause I'm implementing the vfs call :
ssize_t my_fs_write(int gfd, const char __user * data, size_t count,
loff_t * offset)
and the actual file system implementation is in user level (user-level
file server)
so i have to copy the data from user to kernel and then send it via
netlink socket to the userlevel file system server
Thanks in advance
MHD
