(In reply to Justin Hibbits from comment #0) Is this a cross-platform guarantee, or only valid and assumed for PPC ? (In reply to Konstantin Belousov from comment #1) It appears to be a general guarantee, from reading the linux source. GFP_KERNEL implies ZONE_NORMAL, which is guaranteed to be below 4GB. The contiguity guarantee looks to be a property of the Linux slab allocator. |
