Subject: [PATCH 0/7] mm: reliable memory allocation with kvmalloc
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 11:08:54 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LRH.2.02.1507071058350.23387@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com> (raw)
This patchset introduces function kvmalloc and kvmalloc_node. These
functions allow reliable allocation of objects of arbitrary size. They
attempt to do allocation with kmalloc and if it fails, use vmalloc. Memory
allocated with these functions should be freed with kvfree.
The patchset makes modification to device mapper to use these functions.
