Hello,

is it possible to allocate and then maybe free memory in user space
from kernel mode, if I have struct proc of the process that memory should
belong to ? What is the easiest and safest method of doing this ?
I have seen some example that uses obreak(), but that seems very tricky
and suspicious ... I don't really understand what obreak() really does
and how to use it ...

Thanks for the information.

Regards,
Eugene
