Hi Takashi,
I see,
I just want to save low memory for kmalloc use, So I want to filter out large memory allocations To use vmalloc instead ,
It will be preferable, if there is a better solution :)
Thank you for your clarification.
Don't top post.
Without having seen the earlier mails in the thread I'm not 100% sure on the specifics here but wouldn't a more generic solution be to deal with this in the memory management code?
As far as I can tell the concern is that the runtime structures are taking up too much memory when allocated using kzallloc? We're also doing lots of small allocations for things like DAPM which will presumably also be burning this memory and will I expect for most systems end up being more than that consumed by the runtime structures.
