simple memory malloc and free in ip_output.c

["Guibin(Bill) Tian" <gbtian@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am doing a very simple operation at the method of ip_queue_xmit in ip_output.c.

The code is very simple.

char *p = kmalloc(48, GFP_KERNEL);

kfree(p);

This will be called every time this method is called.

But the result is that the whole system is not responsive at all. This is a very simple, not sure what I am doing wrong. Can anybody help?

Thanks
