[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Modules using the genpool allocator need to be able to kfree() the memory
used for the genpool data structures when unloading.

Hi Linus,

Would you please accept this patch against the genpool allocator?

There is still an issue with the block comments not being up to
kernel-doc standards that plagues the entire file, which I will
remedy in a followup patch.

Thanks,
Dean
