[PATCH 035/115] gpu: ion: use vmalloc to allocate page array to map kernel

John Stultz

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.
