Is a problem related to run out of vmalloc space _only_ or it is a problem
with broken list? From the commit message it is hard to follow the reason.

Could you please post a full trace or panic?

Why do you need get_cpu() here? Can you go with raw_smp_processor_id()
and then access the per-cpu "vmap_block_queue"? get_cpu() disables
preemption and then a spin-lock is take within this critical section.

I am on a vacation, responds can be with delays.
