Hi,

I noticed sporadic "page allocation failure" errors in my systems running 5.4-stable kernels, that look like this:

If I'm not mistaken, 5.10 and newer kernels have a fix for this: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...

I wonder if it would be possible to include it in 5.4-stable and potentially older stable kernels?

From 8c38b705b4f4ca4e7f9cc116141bc38391917c30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel riel@surriel.com Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 13:07:19 -0400 Subject: silence nfscache allocation warnings with kvzalloc

silence nfscache allocation warnings with kvzalloc

Currently nfsd_reply_cache_init attempts hash table allocation through kmalloc, and manually falls back to vzalloc if that fails. This makes the code a little larger than needed, and creates a significant amount of serial console spam if you have enough systems.

Switching to kvzalloc gets rid of the allocation warnings, and makes the code a little cleaner too as a side effect.

Freeing of nn->drc_hashtbl is already done using kvfree currently.
