From 47068309b5777313b6ac84a77d8d10dc7312260a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Breno Leitao Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2025 09:50:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Use kvzalloc for large exit_dump allocation Replace kzalloc with kvzalloc for the exit_dump buffer allocation, which can require large contiguous memory depending on the implementation. This change prevents allocation failures by allowing the system to fall back to vmalloc when contiguous memory allocation fails. Since this buffer is only used for debugging purposes, physical memory contiguity is not required, making vmalloc a suitable alternative.
