Oh sorry i didn't notice your old patch.
I send this patch because we encountered high fragmentation issue in vmalloc area
and the link about this issue.
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-January/313040.html
Let's drop my patch.

Besides, i just want to know why this patch is not included into the upstream kernel?

Thanks!
