Re: how to allocate 9MB of memory in kernel ?

Misbah,

Please, give some more details about your application: the answer(s)
heavily depends on the kind of memory you want to allocate: contiguous
(implied in DMA purpose) or not (for process memory sharing only).

Hi all,

I need to allocate 9 MB of memory in to the kernel space which i need to
mmap for the application to access.

I need to know what could be the best possible way of doing the same.

Please share your experience in this regard .

Thank you in advance
