percpu variables from softirq context

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I am trying to allocate a per-cpu variable from a softirq context, but
the documentation for "alloc_percpu" says that the variable is
allocated in GFP_KERNEL context, which can sleep.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks,
