is there any advantage of using lis_kmalloc instead of kmalloc

[kishore]

hi all,

I am working with LiS-2.18 (down loaded from gcom.com) on,
Redhat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 ( Nahant Update 2) with kernel
version 2.6.9-16.EL .

I merged my drivers along with streams. I created a folder named x25 in
/usr/src/LiS/pkg
and placed Makefile , Config and binary file( .o file) in it.

In my driver, i am using kmalloc. The same driver code is working fine
on ES3 with
2.4.xx.xx.EL I want to overcome this fatal error.
Mean while, i went thru LiS files. I came across some functions like
lis_kmalloc and lis_kfree.
I went thru code. I hope its same as kmalloc if u passed 0 as third
argument to lis_kmalloc.

let me know, whether any advantage of using lis_kmalloc instead of
kmalloc directly.
If u know any issues regarding kmalloc from kernel version 2.4 to 2.6,
pls. share with me.

Thanks in advance.
