Hi sahlot arvind,

Guys,
1. If I allocate a page of memory through kmalloc () inside my driver
then are there chances in future that this page might get swapped out?
I mean as in kernel pages never get swapped out so I am bit confused
if kmalloc'd pages are candidate for being swapped out or not?
No, Never swap out
2. Similiar to 1. If I allocate a page of memory through kmalloc ()
inside my driver and map this memory into the address space of some
process then are there chances in future that this page might get
swapped out? I mean now since this memory would be a part of process
address space as well so I am bit confused if kmalloc'd pages are
candidate for being swapped out or not?
No, never swap out
Thanks
- Arvind
