hey everyone, is there a difference between kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA) and bigphysarea_alloc (size). I god a driver that use the bigphysarea patch and I changed it to use kmalloc (because for my kernel version there is no patch) and it worked. So my question is, is the bigphysarea patch arcade and kmalloc can allocate enough continuous memory or did I just added on error to the driver ;-). Oh I use the 3.6.24.3 Kernel greetings mosta -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
