What about kmalloc()?

You know what I love?

kmalloc docs: Kernel allocations always succeed, unless there is an insufficient amount of memory available.

ARENT ALWAYS AND UNLESS MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE!?

Isn’t that a central axiom of incompleteness?

Did you know that I spent days trying to sort out a panic that was in kmalloc() on linux 3.18 when our module kmalloced more than 198 8 byte buffers in a row? Whaaa? can you tell I still feel guilty that we “fixed” it by padding the buffer to 16 bytes?
Did I forget to mention when we loaded the module’s config we pulled in about 150-200 buffers depending on the setup for extra nightmare-fuel?

Do you know how happy, how blessed, how free you are that you don’t know? Should we keep adventures in ulcer-creating linux kernel module programming nightmares somewhere that’s not here?

Is kernel work something I gave up years ago for underwater basket weaving?

(Ever tell you about the time I panicked an ‘unbreakable’ as/400 with a weird, mistyped ls command at IBM hq?)

Do you guys know squirrels primarily communicate by flashing their tails to each other and other tail movements? Is that as amazing to anyone else as it is to me?

And here all this time wasn’t I convinced they were communicating by jumping at my face?

Why do they try to communicate with me by trying to jump in front of my car? Am I showing I am not a speciesist when I swerve to avoid them?

Why do I always forget what thread I’m in?
Do I have too many tabs open?
Is my brain that short of attention?
