Hi,
i get the following warning if i call vfree some memory allocated by
vmalloc on a single cpu machine running 2.6.22.6 SMP:
WARNING: at arch/i386/kernel/smp.c:559 native_smp_call_function_mask()

=======================
I use the rvmalloc / rvfree functions copied from usbvideo.c:
static void rvfree(void *mem, unsigned long size)
{
unsigned long adr;
unsigned long pages = 0;
#if defined(RING_DEBUG)
printk("RING: rvfree: %lu bytes\n", size);
#endif
if (!mem)
return;
adr = (unsigned long) mem;
while ((long) size > 0) {
ClearPageReserved(vmalloc_to_page((void *)adr));
pages++;
adr += PAGE_SIZE;
size -= PAGE_SIZE;
}
#if defined(RING_DEBUG)
printk("RING: rvfree: %lu pages\n", pages);
printk("RING: rvfree: calling vfree....\n");
#endif
vfree(mem); // WARNING occurs here
printk("RING: rvfree: after vfree....\n");
}
Any clues?
Please cc me for answers. Thanks in advance.
-Michael
