[PATCH net-next 4/8] net/mlx5: Switch vport HCA cap helpers to kvzalloc
From: Tariq Toukan
Date: Sun May 10 2026 - 01:38:45 EST
From: Moshe Shemesh <moshe@xxxxxxxxxx>
mlx5_vport_set_other_func_cap() and mlx5_vport_get_vhca_id() allocate
command buffers that embed the HCA capability union, exceeding 4KiB.
Use kvzalloc/kvfree so the allocation can fall back to vmalloc when
contiguous memory is scarce.
