Modules deal with per-device and per-mount objects. If a module cannot use kmalloc_per_cpu on behalf of the primary object which it manages then the facility is simply not useful to modules.
Ok then.
Please address the ia64 concerns then :-) It probably means we have to stay with the dereferencing stuff... at which point you might as well use normal kmalloc() and smp_processor_id() indexing inside of modules. - 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/
