hi. For kernel memory allocation,say for example,to allocate a private data structure within a kernel module,Is it right to use M_DEVBUF option? looks like M_DEVBUF is only for device buffers.Can I use the same thing for a private structure? Can you also guide me to a document or something to know what M_DEVBUF and the rest of the options available?I tried using man malloc,but that givess just a Clibrary function and not for a kernel module.I tried manning for contigmalloc and cud not get it. thanx for your time.
