| |
The recent patches to add support for hugepage vmalloc mappings added a flag for __vmalloc_node_range to allow to request small pages. This flag is not accessible when calling vmalloc, the only option is to call directly __vmalloc_node_range, which is not exported.
This means that a module can't vmalloc memory with small pages.
Case in point: KVM on s390x needs to vmalloc a large area, and it needs to be mapped with small pages, because of a hardware limitation.
This patch exports __vmalloc_node_range so it can be used in modules too.
