Subject: [PATCH 4.19 086/229] vhost/vsock: Use kvmalloc/kvfree for larger packets.

From: Junichi Uekawa <uekawa@...omium.org>

[ Upstream commit 0e3f72931fc47bb81686020cc643cde5d9cd0bb8 ]

When copying a large file over sftp over vsock, data size is usually 32kB,
and kmalloc seems to fail to try to allocate 32 32kB regions.

 vhost-5837: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x24040c0

Work around by doing kvmalloc instead.
