From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/vmalloc: improve allocation failure error messages There are several reasons why a vmalloc can fail, virtual space exhausted, page array allocation failure, page allocation failure, and kernel page table allocation failure. Add distinct warning messages for the main causes of failure, with some added information like page order or allocation size where applicable.
