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

quoted

You can use the mem option to tell to the kernel that you've got less 
ram you really have. 

I really didnt got the point you made. Can you please elaborate it for my
understanding.

However you can read Linux device drivers chapter 8 

i dont need to allocate large memory at the boot time also vmalloc and
kmalloc i cant use as it can allocate free page up to 128kb, hence if you
could suggest me a better technique i would really appriciate .

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
