large memory allocations

["Hilik Stein" <hilik@netvision.net.il>]

Hi all
i am trying to write a kernel module, which needs to allocate a very large
buffer at runtime.
i am using kmalloc, and it fails if i try to allocate more than 128K, since
it has caches for sizes up to this size.
is there a way to allocate more than 128k in a kernel module ?
thanks
Hilik
