Re: using kmalloc

[chiranjeevi vaka <cvaka_kernel@yahoo.com>]

Hi jim,
I am trying to get something around 600 to 1000 bytes
using kmalloc. This one is for some changes in TCP/IP
stack. I am trying to implement a new kernel data
structure in tcp layer. So can you suggest me what
functionality to use to come out of that hanging.


thanks.
