Just get individual pages. If you want to merge them you can use vmap(), but in the kernel you should probably just fix your in kernel code to not require that and work with sg lists. If you get the pages piece by piece you can also more easily remap them linearly into user space. > need, this just seems overly cumbersome when what I really want is > vmalloc_32 to just work correctly on 64-bit systems... (why doesn't > vmalloc_32 pass __GFP_DMA32 to the allocator????) It probably should, but see second part of sentence above. And please never put closed lists in cc of l-k posts.
