Hi greg,

For https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/drivers/inp...

there have been a patch for kmalloc failed ,

for https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/sound/soc/s...

I have not change it , need some more code to change in devm_kzalloc ..

I make a patch for netfilter part :

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/net/netfilt... https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/net/netfilt... https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/net/netfilt... https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/net/netfilt...

seems work well , these module will allocate 64KB large memory, is it possible to be merged ?

Thanks

Hi greg,

I am sorry, I make a mistake , You are right , https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/drive rs/usb/gadget/f_mass_storage.c?h=master#n2724

this one should not changed to use vmalloc, the buffer will be used by DMA，

Which is why a wrapper function will never work.

others should be safe to change:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/sound /soc/soc-core.c?h=master#n3772

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/net/n etfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c?h=master#n603 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/net/n etfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_main.c?h=master#n1849 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/net/n etfilter/nf_conntrack_irc.c?h=master#n247 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/net/n etfilter/nf_conntrack_sane.c?h=master#n195

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/tree/drive rs/input/evdev.c?h=master#n403

Then send individual patches for these and see what happens.
