[RFC][PATCH v2 02/23] (armho) __vmalloc: add gfp flags variant of pteand pmd allocation

From: Prasad Joshi
Date: Mon Mar 14 2011 - 13:29:47 EST


__vmalloc: propagating GFP allocation flag.

- adds functions to allow caller to pass the GFP flag for memory allocation
- helps in fixing the Bug 30702 (__vmalloc(GFP_NOFS) can callback
file system evict_inode).
