Not always. Off the top of my head, two things immediately come to mind: 9KB and 16KB jumbo frames come from the kernel map, because we allocate physically contiguous memory for them, and some swap metadata also comes from the kernel map. Yes, all "ordinary" heap allocations come from the kmem map, but a number of things that are special for one reason or another don't. > Previously ARM was using a fixed kmem_map size of (12*1024*1024) = 12MB > without regard to effectively available memory.
