From 496850e5f5a372029ceb2b35c811770a9bb073b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:36:33 -0800 Subject: mm: vmalloc failure flush fix An initial vmalloc failure should start off a synchronous flush of lazy areas, in case someone is in progress flushing them already, which could cause us to return an allocation failure even if there is plenty of KVA free.
