Subject: scheduling in kmalloc()
Date: Fri, 06 Jul 2001 17:27:53 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B45A7C1.7E684A7@techmas.hcltech.com> (raw)
if we use any thing other than GFP_ATOMIC, does it result in scheduling
out the process if there is no memory available?
with GFP_KERNRL, I think we try freeing pages to service the current
request.
or is there any possibility of kmalloc() failing even with GFP_KERNEL?
thx,
Vasu.
