The compression workspace buffers are larger than a page so we use vmalloc, unconditionally. This is not always necessary as there might be contiguous memory available. Let's use the kvmalloc helpers that will try kmalloc first and fallback to vmalloc. For that they require GFP_KERNEL flags. As we now have the alloc_workspace calls protected by memalloc_nofs in the critical contexts, we can safely use GFP_KERNEL. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
