Linus Torvalds 9becb68891 kvmalloc: use vmalloc_huge for vmalloc allocations 
Since commit 559089e0a9 ("vmalloc: replace VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP with
VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP"), the use of hugepage mappings for vmalloc is an
opt-in strategy, because it caused a number of problems that weren't
noticed until x86 enabled it too.

One of the issues was fixed by Nick Piggin in commit 3b8000ae18
("mm/vmalloc: huge vmalloc backing pages should be split rather than
compound"), but I'm still worried about page protection issues, and
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS in particular.

However, like the hash table allocation case (commit f2edd118d0:
"page_alloc: use vmalloc_huge for large system hash"), the use of
kvmalloc() should be safe from any such games, since the returned
pointer might be a SLUB allocation, and as such no user should
reasonably be using it in any odd ways.

We also know that the allocations are fairly large, since it falls back
to the vmalloc case only when a kmalloc() fails.  So using a hugepage
mapping seems both safe and relevant.

This patch does show a weakness in the opt-in strategy: since the opt-in
flag is in the 'vm_flags', not the usual gfp_t allocation flags, very
few of the usual interfaces actually expose it.

That's not much of an issue in this case that already used one of the
fairly specialized low-level vmalloc interfaces for the allocation, but
for a lot of other vmalloc() users that might want to opt in, it's going
to be very inconvenient.

We'll either have to fix any compatibility problems, or expose it in the
gfp flags (__GFP_COMP would have made a lot of sense) to allow normal
vmalloc() users to use hugepage mappings.  That said, the cases that
really matter were probably already taken care of by the hash tabel
allocation.
