Subject: Can kmalloc( ) with __GFP_WAIT flag fail?
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2009 14:59:31 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f44001920906050359h5edc6782n69aa91472aae418f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello!

Can kmalloc( ) fail when invoked with __GFP_WAIT flag (which is
implied by GFP_KERNEL)?
And for what reason it may fail?

Thanks.
