[PATCH v3] vmalloc: Add the right hint when vmalloc failed

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

 



In fact "vmalloc=<size>" cmdline option is not available on many
platforms.When the user encounters this error, add the correct
hint to prevent misleading.

Signed-off-by: Tian Tao <tiantao6@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

v2:
Add appropriate hints and let users decide if they can increase
the size of the vmalloc by vmalloc=<size> depending on their platform

v3:
change the patch name and commit messages.
