| |
i'd always assumed that the type flags of GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_KERNEL were mutually exclusive when it came to calling kmalloc(), at least based on everything i'd read. so i'm not sure how to interpret the following:
drivers/scsi/aic7xxx_old.c: aic_dev = kmalloc(sizeof(struct aic_dev_data), GFP_ATOMIC | GFP_KERNEL); drivers/message/i2o/device.c: resblk = kmalloc(buflen + 8, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_ATOMIC);
clarification?
