Subject: dm cache mq: fix memory allocation failure for large cache devices
From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 14f398ca2f26a2ed6236aec54395e0fa06ec8a82 upstream.
The memory allocated for the multiqueue policy's hash table doesn't need
to be physically contiguous. Use vzalloc() instead of kzalloc().
Fedora has been carrying this fix since 10/10/2013.
Failure seen during creation of a 10TB cached device with a 2048 sector
block size and 411GB cache size:
