Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 27/60] rust: alloc: implement `Vmalloc` allocator
Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2025 23:49:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250307225008.779961-28-ojeda@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250307225008.779961-1-ojeda@kernel.org>
From: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>
commit 61c004781d6b928443052e7a6cf84b35d4f61401 upstream.
Implement `Allocator` for `Vmalloc`, the kernel's virtually contiguous
allocator, typically used for larger objects, (much) larger than page
size.
All memory allocations made with `Vmalloc` end up in `vrealloc()`.
