rtnetlink: introduce nlmsg_new_large and use it in rtnl_getlink
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
if a PF has 256 or more VFs, ip link command will allocate an order 3
memory or more, and maybe trigger OOM due to memory fragment,
the VFs needed memory size is computed in rtnl_vfinfo_size.

so introduce nlmsg_new_large which calls netlink_alloc_large_skb in
which vmalloc is used for large memory, to avoid the failure of
allocating memory

    ip invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0xc2cc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN|\
	__GFP_COMP|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC), order=3, oom_score_adj=0
