Currently, the memory to the composition frame is being allocated using
the kzmalloc. This comes with the limitation of maximum size of one
page size(which in the x86_64 is 4Kb and 4MB for default and hugepage
respectively).
Somes test of igt (e.g. kms_plane@pixel-format) uses more than 4MB when
testing some pixel formats like ARGB16161616 and the following error were
showing up when running kms_plane@plane-panning-bottom-right*:
[drm:vkms_composer_worker [vkms]] *ERROR* Cannot allocate memory for
output frame.
This problem is addessed by allocating the memory using kvzalloc that
addessed -> addressed
OTOH, I would write this in imperative mood, as in "Address this by
allocating..." or "Fix this..."
circunvents this limitation.
circunvents -> circumvents
Thanks, I will fix them!
V5: Improve the commit message and drop the debugging issues in VKMS
TO-DO(Melissa Wen).
Patch changelog are very useful for the mailing list, but not very
useful for the git log. For that reason, I usually put this right after
the --- in the patch, so the log will be dropped when the patch is applied.
Those comment applies for the rest of your series.
Well, drivers in the DRM subsystem maintain the change history. As you
can see in the commit below.

Aside from that, the current VKMS maintainer asked me to add them to the
commit body.
And for that two reasons, I will keep them.
Thanks!
