Hello,

I need 200 to 500 32k buffers in my device driver, which is a lodable kernel module. get_free_pages failing to allocate these many buffers. My requirement is the all these 32k buffers should be contiguous physical memory and I need a minimum of 200 such buffers.
I'd like to know how to get get these many buffers (physically contigous) for a loadable kernel module.

Have a nice time.
Regards
Arun
