Hi, thanks for the prompt reply.
I think I cannot use malloc and free as I am programming in the kernel, so
have to use MALLOC and FREE.The man page shows..
MALLOC(space, cast, unsigned long size, struct malloc_type *type,
int flags)
But then it goes on to describe the MWAIT and other such flags..
I mean i cannot make out the no. of arguments to be passed to MALLOC..and
what would they stand for..
thanks
Anish.
