From dd700d9452023a5b6820815a88f93c8f7010c270 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2013 00:05:13 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fallback to vmalloc for large buffers in xfs_attrlist_by_handle Shamelessly copied from dchinner's: ad650f5b xfs: fallback to vmalloc for large buffers in xfs_attrmulti_attr_get xfsdump uses for 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.
