Hi,
Using our random failing kmalloc debug patch I've noticed that vmalloc
calls BUG() when get_vm_area fails (one of the possible reasons is for kmalloc
to fail on get_vm_area, which is possible), should it do it? or is it a
debugging leftover? if it is a leftover bellow is a patch to get rid of it.
