Subject: [PATCH 4.5 098/101] btrfs: fallback to vmalloc in btrfs_compare_tree

4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Sterba <dsterba@...e.com>

commit 8f282f71eaee7ac979cdbe525f76daa0722798a8 upstream.

The allocation of node could fail if the memory is too fragmented for a
given node size, practically observed with 64k.
