git bisect leads to this:

bdfb04301fa5fdd95f219539a9a5b9663b1e5fc2 is the first bad commit
commit bdfb04301fa5fdd95f219539a9a5b9663b1e5fc2
Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
Date:   Wed Jan 20 21:55:30 2010 +0000

    xfs: replace KM_LARGE with explicit vmalloc use
    
    We use the KM_LARGE flag to make kmem_alloc and friends use vmalloc
    if necessary.  As we only need this for a few boot/mount time
    allocations just switch to explicit vmalloc calls there.
