This is the 'full' malloc(). So I think you need to mention that this is set up by spl_init(), and before that, the simple malloc() can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined. There is great potential for confusion so I'd like the docs to be very clear. > > CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE > The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. > -- > 1.9.1 > Regards, Simon
