| |
From: Rebecca Schultz Zavin <rebecca@android.com>
When ion_map_kernel is execute the system must allocate an array large enough to hold a pointer to each page in the buffer. If the buffer is very large and the system memory has become very fragmented, there may not be sufficient high order allocations available from kmalloc. Use vmalloc instead.
