On the 2.4 kernels, ALLOC_FLAGS was a gross and ugly hack to avoid passing SLAB_KERNEL everywhere (i.e. inappropriately). The 2.6 kernels have a _structural_ fix, passing a gfp_t in all the places that Linux previously just had to guess about the call context. Passing SLAB_KERNEL everywhere may be the safest solution, but I'd expect there is code that won't handle the resulting occasional null pointers (from failed allocations). _______________________________________________ linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
