Some of these function may also be used after boot and thus we will have to add special casing so that GFP_KERNEL is used if boot is complete. We are replacing one special casing with another. -- 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/
