> This is a beginner device driver question: > The kernel malloc returns physical memory (non swappable), right? Yes, all memory used by the kernel is non-pageable, although changing this is on the wish-list. > Is there any way to get virtual memory ? Not as far as I know. Incidentally, if you haven't already seen it, the guide to writing FreeBSD device drivers at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ is well worth reading. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
