[PATCH v2 3/5] gpiolib: cdev: allocate linereq using kvzalloc()

From: Kent Gibson
Date: Wed Dec 20 2023 - 20:21:50 EST


The size of struct linereq may exceed a page, so allocate space for
it using kvzalloc() instead of kzalloc() to handle the case where
memory is heavily fragmented and kzalloc() cannot find a sufficient
contiguous region.
