From aec45e857c5538664edb76a60dd452e3265f37d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wenjia Zhang Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2018 15:31:34 +0200 Subject: s390/qeth: use vzalloc for QUERY OAT buffer qeth_query_oat_command() currently allocates the kernel buffer for the SIOC_QETH_QUERY_OAT ioctl with kzalloc. So on systems with fragmented memory, large allocations may fail (eg. the qethqoat tool by default uses 132KB). Solve this issue by using vzalloc, backing the allocation with non-contiguous memory.
