bapu_60 LQ Newbie Registered: Feb 2009 Posts: 1 Rep:	gfp_flags for a given process Hi This question is regarding scheduling a task by the linux kernel for the first time.I am booting linux on a simulator and the for any user process i see that the gfp_flag is set as 32(GFP_ATOMIC) as oppossed expected to 210(GFP_KERNEL). Because of this flag the kernel fails to allocate pages for the process and the process is killed. Can anyone help me with how the GFP flags are computed for a given task and what can lead to a value of 32 for a task. Thanks
