Subject: JFFS2: retry large buffer allocations
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ddd0d9a3177356f2a29c8f3826ad79e1ad18397;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

JFFS2: retry large buffer allocations

Replace direct call to kmalloc for a potentially large, contiguous
buffer allocation with one to mtd_kmalloc_up_to which helps ensure the
operation can succeed under low-memory, highly- fragmented situations
albeit somewhat more slowly.
