Olivier Certner 88a7dd1118 LinuxKPI: Have kvzalloc() rely on kvmalloc(), not kmalloc() ... Since commit 19df0c5abcb9d4e9 ("LinuxKPI: make __kmalloc() play by the rules"), kmalloc() systematically allocates contiguous physical memory, as it should. However, kvzalloc() was left defined in terms of kmalloc(), which makes it allocate contiguous physical memory too. This is a too stringent restriction, as kvzalloc() is supposed to be a simple page-zeroing wrapper around kvmalloc(). According to Linux's documentation ("memory-allocation.rst"), kvmalloc() first tries to allocate contiguous memory, falling back to non-contiguous one if that fails. Thus, callers are already supposed to deal with the possibility of non-contiguous memory being returned.
