vmalloc: allocation failure: 4407240 bytes in LS1021ATWR Board

[vigneshr]

Hi All,

I'm getting vmalloc() failure while trying to insert the module in the kernel. When I checked the vmalloc size, there is enough space for loading the module. Someone help me to resolve this issue,

Below is the log when inserting the module,

root@ls1021atwr:/lib# insmod wl.ko

vmap allocation for size 4411392 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.

size of Vmalloc () is ,

Even-though enough space is there, what could be the reason for this issue and how can I resolve  it..

Help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello Vignesh, did you ever find the answer to this question?  I am having the same issue with the wl driver

Could someone help me ??

Hi Vignesh, are you perhaps mistakenly trying

to allocate a huge chunk of memory during

module init ?
