Hi everybody,

        Thank you for your help!
        I am going to tell you more information.

        my question is about memory fragmentation when I allocate and free a lot of
small memory pieces in a kernel module.
        Can it do a memory fragmentation problem?
        Can I solve it using 'linux/list.h' API?

        I think that is better to allocate a big piece of memory and get the nodes
from this buffer with my own memory management functions; Is this correct?.

Thanks.
