Hi,
ip_queue_xmit will get called for every packet send, so frequent allocation and free of memory can be a problem for slab allocator.
If you need only 48 bytes of memory in a function you can chose to use array.

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);
GFP_ATOMIC ?
