[ Upstream commit 7ce3e6107103214d354a16729a472f588be60572 ]
We have two reports of failed memory allocation in btrfs' code which is
calling into report zones.
Both of these reports have the following signature coming from
__vmalloc_area_node():
kworker/u17:5: vmalloc error: size 0, failed to allocate pages, mode:0x10dc2(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGHMEM|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0
Further debugging showed these where allocations of one sector (512
bytes) and at least one of the reporter's systems where low on memory,
so going through the overhead of allocating a vm area failed.
Switching the allocation from __vmalloc() to kvzalloc() avoids the
overhead of vmalloc() on small allocations and succeeds.
Note: the buffer is already freed using kvfree() so there's no need to
adjust the free path.
