Problem using kmalloc

suduko · 05-21-2012, 03:25 PM

#include<linux/slab.h>
main()
{
int *p;
p = kmalloc(sizeof(int)*10);

}

I am trying to use the basic program , but it is saying that linux/slab.h: No such file or directory .. I tried locating linux/slab.h manually but still it is not compiling . I would really appreciate someone if you could help me using kmalloc successfully.

have you found this slab.h?
maybe this helps: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubu...ce-driver.html

How are you compiling the module , can you show the makefile.

What are you trying to do?. kmalloc is not a userspace function, you need to use this for kernel programs. no main() function in kernel.
