Subject: V4L/DVB (11840): change kmalloc to vmalloc for sglist allocation in videobuf_dma_map... 
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1010ed132727bbf486ac28fd149ccfb0ef5cd2ab;p=linux-beck.git

V4L/DVB (11840): change kmalloc to vmalloc for sglist allocation in videobuf_dma_map/unmap

Change kmalloc()/kfree() to vmalloc()/vfree() for sglist allocation
during videobuf_dma_map() and videobuf_dma_unmap()

High resolution sensors might require too many contiguous pages
to be allocated for sglist by kmalloc() during videobuf_dma_map()
(i.e. 256Kib for 8MP sensor).
In such situations, kmalloc() could face some problem to find the
required free memory. vmalloc() is a safer solution instead, as the
allocated memory does not need to be contiguous.
