[PATCH 0/7] mm: reliable memory allocation with kvmalloc

From: Mikulas Patocka
Date: Tue Jul 07 2015 - 11:09:28 EST


This patchset introduces function kvmalloc and kvmalloc_node. These
functions allow reliable allocation of objects of arbitrary size. They
attempt to do allocation with kmalloc and if it fails, use vmalloc. Memory
allocated with these functions should be freed with kvfree.

The patchset makes modification to device mapper to use these functions.
