Hi all,

I have couple doubts regarding kmalloc/highmem. Can some one help me
understand this better.


Why we cannot kmalloc(GFP_HIGHUSER) ?
Because it returns virtual address and to get virtual address of pages from
high memory we need to kmap ?

Then how to allocate pages from highmem alloc_pages, and then kmap?

How to free pages from highmem ? kunmap and  then ?

Thanks.
