In addition, Im running 2.4.21 kernel.
Just then, I was looking at the 2.6.11 kernel source (net/core/skbuff.c) and found out that large chunk of the alloc_skb() has been thrown out. Can this be removed from 2.4.21 also ? I might go and check out why its been removed. Still waiting for some good answer tho .. :) Cheers, On Apr 12, 2005 5:38 PM, Daniel Ann <ktdann at gmail.com> wrote: > Hiya folks, > > I'm wondering if anyone could help me out with problem I have in alloc_skb(). > > My problem is that, kernel dies with "alloc_skb called nonatomically > from interrupt c00ba718" message.
