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

 



4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0bf7800f1799b5b1fd7d4f024e9ece53ac489011 upstream.

This patch switch to use kvmalloc_array() for using a vmalloc()
fallback to help in case kmalloc() fails.
