I'm a little confused about the way the Linux kernel allocates memory, and
I'm hoping someone could clarify this for me.
Does the __get_free_pages() function eventually call the kmalloc() function?
Or does the kmalloc() function eventually call the __get_free_pages()
function? Or are these two totally separate functions for different
purposes?
Which of these functions can be called by user process for the purpose of
allocating memory for that user process?
TIA
Joseph Wagner
Flames will be directed to /dev/null
