[PATCH v2] MIPS: mm: kmalloc tlb_vpn array to avoid stack overflow

From: Thomas Bogendoerfer

Date: Tue Nov 25 2025 - 16:40:41 EST


Latest MIPS cores could have much more than 64 TLB entries, therefore
allocate array for unification instead of placing a too small array
on stack.

Fixes: 9f048fa48740 ("MIPS: mm: Prevent a TLB shutdown on initial uniquification")
