Please post messages in plain text without HTML.  Not only does it save

After checking the HTML portion of your e-mail I found that you actually 
tried to use malloc().  "*malloc*" could mean that you tried various 
functions with "malloc" in it, such as kmalloc().

libc functions are not available in the kernel code.  Please use the 
calls available in the kernel.  kmalloc() is the kernel equivalent of 
malloc().

I don't think anything needs fixing.
