When using large directory blocks, we regularly see memory allocations of >64k being made for the shadow log vector buffer. When we are under memory pressure, kmalloc() may not be able to find contiguous memory chunks large enough to satisfy these allocations easily, and if memory is fragmented we can potentially stall here. TO avoid this problem, switch the log vector buffer allocation to use kmem_alloc_large(). This will allow failed allocations to fall back to vmalloc and so remove the dependency on large contiguous regions of memory being available. This should prevent slowdowns and potential stalls when memory is low and/or fragmented. Signed-Off-By: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
