Excuse me. kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) may sleep (and therefore cannot be used in atomic context). However, kfree() for memory allocated with kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) never sleep (and therefore can be used in atomic context). Why kmalloc() and kfree() are NOT kept symmetric? _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list contain...@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@openvz.org https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
