[PATCH] kvmalloc: always use vmalloc if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM

I understand you're frustrated, but this is not the way to get the problems
fixed.

This is good data, thank you for providing it.

[PATCH] kvmalloc: always use vmalloc if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
...; enabled quite often.
You're an evil person who doesn't want to fix bugs.
You refused to fix vmalloc(GFP_NOIO) misbehavior a year ago (did you make
some progress with it since that time?) and you refuse to fix kvmalloc
misuses.
I tried this patch on text-only virtual machine and /proc/vmallocinfo
shows 614kB more memory. I tried it on a desktop machine with the chrome
browser open and /proc/vmallocinfo space is increased by 7MB. So no - this
won't exhaust memory and kill the machine.
Arguing that this increases memory consumption is as bogus as arguing that
CONFIG_LOCKDEP increses...
