From a822c83e47d97cdef38c4352e1ef62d9f46cfe98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Thornber Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 10:22:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dm thin: allocate the cell_sort_array dynamically Given the pool's cell_sort_array holds 8192 pointers it triggers an order 5 allocation via kmalloc. This order 5 allocation is prone to failure as system memory gets more fragmented over time. Fix this by allocating the cell_sort_array using vmalloc.
