From 68ab3d883a2df13f4b93a923bae3a287cbee29d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:03:46 -0700 Subject: relayfs: support larger relay buffer Use vmalloc() and memset() instead of kcalloc() to allocate a page* array when the array size is bigger than one page. This enables relayfs to support bigger relay buffers than 64MB on 4k-page system, 512MB on 16k-page system.
