For android, I think there should be no problem, since while startup, memory
should be sufficient for f2fs mount.
For server or desktop, if there is any failure on memory allocation,
f2fs_kzalloc will fallback to vmalloc, so that would not be worse than before,
right?

Or if you worry about this really, could we add a fast path:

build_sit_info()
 - try allocate sit_i->bitmap
  - success: divide memory
 - fail: fallback to old method

Thanks,
