I WANT TO KNOW WHAT AMOUNT OF MEMORY ALLOCATION
WILL BE SAFE.i.e. even
if i alloc 30K at a time,will I always get a
contiguous memory for that
purpose.??
	Is there a set limit in Linux for the amount of
memory we obtain
will always be contiguous or always available??

 No, there are no guarantees about availability of
contiguous memory. But if you do not specify
GFP_ATOMIC flag when calling kmalloc(), it will sleep
till the requested amount of memory is available.

Ravi.
