From: Oleg Drokin <green@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Looking to get rid of a deadlock in Lustre where vmalloc call recurses right back into Lustre to free some memory due to not accepting GFP mask I noticed that while vzalloc is replaceable with __vmalloc just as suggested, vzalloc_node is not. Recommended __vmalloc_node symbol is static to mm/vmalloc.c. Hopefully nobody has any objections to me exporting it so that vzalloc_node suggestion actually becomes possible. Second patch in the series is just a Lustre patch to take advantage of that newly exported symbol (as an example of usage). Please consider.
