How about exporting ksize to modules, and introduce a new function such like this? Of course, adding gfp_t to its parameter list make this function more generic. void *kzrealloc(void *p, int nused, int new_sz) { void *q; if (new_sz <= nused) return p; if (new_sz <= ksize(p)) { memset(p + nused, 0, new_sz - nused); return p; } q = kmalloc(new_sz, GFP_KERNEL); if (unlikely(!q)) return NULL; memcpy(q, p, nused); memset(q + nused, 0, new_sz - nused); kfree(p); return q; } Junjiro Okajima - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
