I said that the buffer inside of netvsc_device should be made an indirect pointer and thus allocated seperately. Thus you're still kzalloc() net_device, but net_device->cb_buffer becomes "unsigned char *" and another allocation is made for it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
