Subject: [PATCHv2] mm/page_owner: use kvmalloc instead of kmalloc
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2018 10:16:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1540779403-27622-1-git-send-email-miles.chen@mediatek.com> (raw)

From: Miles Chen <miles.chen@mediatek.com>

The kbuf used by page owner is allocated by kmalloc(), which means it
can use only normal memory and there might be a "out of memory"
issue when we're out of normal memory.

Use kvmalloc() so we can also allocate kbuf from
normal/hihghmem on 32bit kernel.

Clamp the kbuf size to PAGE_SIZE.

Change since v1:
  - use kvmalloc()
  - clamp buffer size to PAGE_SIZE
