From ad650f5b27bc9858360b42aaa0d9204d16115316 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2012 04:50:21 +0000 Subject: 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.
