Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon/core: use kvmalloc for target regions array
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 20:23:06 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603112306.58490-1-akinobu.mita@gmail.com> (raw)
damon_commit_target_regions() temporarily allocates a single contiguous
memory region using kmalloc to store copies of all damon_regions of the
damon_target.
However, if the damon_target has a large number of damon_regions, the
total size may exceed KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.
This problem can be avoided by using kvmalloc instead of kmalloc.
