From: Junaid Shahid Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 19:00:51 +0000 (-0700) Subject: dm ioctl: restore __GFP_HIGH in copy_params() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8c1e2162f27b319da913683143c0c6c09b083ebb;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git dm ioctl: restore __GFP_HIGH in copy_params() Commit d224e9381897 ("drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c: use kvmalloc rather than opencoded variant") left out the __GFP_HIGH flag when converting from __vmalloc to kvmalloc. This can cause the DM ioctl to fail in some low memory situations where it wouldn't have failed earlier. Add __GFP_HIGH back to avoid any potential regression.
