Hi, I develop a rather bizarre kernel module which on initialization
allocates about 8 threads and 16m of memory via vmalloc.
The thing is that if I enable printk in the module, insmod loads it almost
instantiously. If I disable printk, insmod appear to hang
for about 50 seconds before returning.
What could be the problem??
