Message-Id: <20061002153708.22649.96337.stgit@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com> Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2006 16:37:08 +0100 From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> To: akpm@...l.org Cc: dhowells@...hat.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] FRV: Permit large kmalloc allocations From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> Permit kmalloc() to make allocations of up to 32MB if so configured. This may be useful under NOMMU conditions where vmalloc() can't do this.
