Looks like this is just alpha and a certain particular compiler version? You may get away with adding void __kmalloc_size_too_large(void) { BUG(); } somewhere if you use the particular compiler version causing trouble. The compiler will then generate some useless code wasting processor cycles due to not folding constants but it should(tm) work. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
