[PATCH 4.15 03/45] ptr_ring: try vmalloc() when kmalloc() fails

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Feb 23 2018 - 13:57:56 EST


4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0bf7800f1799b5b1fd7d4f024e9ece53ac489011 upstream.

This patch switch to use kvmalloc_array() for using a vmalloc()
fallback to help in case kmalloc() fails.
