[PATCH] mm/page_owner: use vmalloc instead of kmalloc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Miles Chen <miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The kbuf used by page owner is allocated by kmalloc(),
which means it can use only normal memory and there might
be a "out of memory" issue when we're out of normal memory.

Use vmalloc() so we can also allocate kbuf from highmem
on 32bit kernel.
