"The first is to change the gfp_mask passed to kmalloc(). Using GFP_KERNEL, 
  it is possible that the VM will call back to the filesystem to free up 
  memory to satisfy the kmalloc request. GFP_NOFS will prevent this possible 
  recursion. I believe GFP_NOFS first appeared in the 2.4.6 kernel.

  The second change involves the call to schedule() when vmalloc() fails. This 
  can also cause a hang. The schedule() call could be replaced with:

  set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
  schedule_timeout(HZ);"
