hi,
I am using kmalloc in my module. It returned NULL; by that i understood
there may be some scarcity in allocating the requested amount of memory ( i
requested for 64 bytes). I returned -ENOMEM, but i thought there may be some
way to return error number rather than what am using.
regards,
kishore,packetware.
