Subject: [PATCH 5/7] dm-thin: use kvmalloc
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 11:11:42 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LRH.2.02.1507071111190.23387@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.LRH.2.02.1507071058350.23387@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com>

Make dm-thin use kvmalloc instead of kmalloc because there was a reported
allocation failure - see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225370
