From 7dfbcbefad4b24d9822d04dbd7b5dd5c3fd45076 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:13:06 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fallback to vmalloc for large buffers in xfs_compat_attrlist_by_handle Shamelessly copied from dchinner's: ad650f5b xfs: fallback to vmalloc for large buffers in xfs_attrmulti_attr_get xfsdump uses a large buffer for extended attributes, which has a kmalloc'd shadow buffer in the kernel. This can fail after the system has been running for some time as it is a high order allocation. Add a fallback to vmalloc so that it doesn't require contiguous memory and so won't randomly fail while xfsdump is running. This was done for xfs_attrlist_by_handle but xfs_compat_attrlist_by_handle (the 32-bit version) needs the same attention.
