To Uladzislau,
Sorry. The path is as below.

Call trace:
 alloc_vmap_area+0x298/0x7fc
 __get_vm_area_node+0x10c/0x1b4
 __vmalloc_node_range+0x19c/0x7c0

There is a call path which didn't panic in old code, but does on the current.

static __always_inline int adjust_va_to_fit_type()

} else if (type == NE_FIT_TYPE) {
	lva = kmem_cache_alloc(vmap_area_cachep, GFP_NOWAIT);
	if (!lva)
		return -1;

If the above path is taken, Retry path should be triggred at alloc_vmap_area(). 
But it is currenly unable to so.
