mm/vmalloc: add vmalloc_no_huge
mainline inclusion from mainline-5.13 commit 15a64f5a category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I3ZGKZ CVE: NA ------------------------------------------------- Patch series "mm: add vmalloc_no_huge and use it", v4. Add vmalloc_no_huge() and export it, so modules can allocate memory with small pages. Use the newly added vmalloc_no_huge() in KVM on s390 to get around a hardware limitation. This patch (of 2): Commit 121e6f32 ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings") added support for hugepage vmalloc mappings, it also added the flag VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP for __vmalloc_node_range to request the allocation to be performed with 0-order non-huge pages. This flag is not accessible when calling vmalloc, the only option is to call directly __vmalloc_node_range, which is not exported. This means that a module can't vmalloc memory with small pages. Case in point: KVM on s390x needs to vmalloc a large area, and it needs to be mapped with non-huge pages, because of a hardware limitation. This patch adds the function vmalloc_no_huge, which works like vmalloc, but it is guaranteed to always back the mapping using small pages. This new function is exported, therefore it is usable by modules.
