From: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ea86f3defd55f141a44146e66cbf8ffb683d60da upstream. We observed that some of virtio_gpu_object_shmem_init() allocations can be rather costly - order 6 - which can be difficult to fulfill under memory pressure conditions. Switch to kvmalloc_array() in virtio_gpu_object_shmem_init() and let the kernel vmalloc the entries array. the original patch applied to a different file, this backport moved this change to the proper place for 4.14/4.19/5.4.
