Subject: order of matching alloc_pages/free_pages call pairs. Are they always same?
Date: Sat, 26 May 2001 13:10:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <OF5385EE96.412D8BDB-ON85256A58.005E44E7@pok.ibm.com> (raw)
Is it reasonable to assume that matching
alloc_pages/free_pages pairs will always have the same order
as the 2nd argument?
For example
pg = alloc_pages( , aorder); free_pages(pg, forder);
Is (aorder == forder) always true?
Or, are there any bizarro drivers etc which will intentionally
free partial amounts, that is (forder < aorder)?
