[PATCH v2] btrfs: use kmalloc for lzo de/compress buffer

From: Kyungsik Lee
Date: Mon Feb 18 2013 - 02:56:41 EST


The size of de/compress buffer is small enough to use kmalloc.
Allocating it with kmalloc rather than vmalloc is preferred.

This patch depends on my previous patch, âbtrfs: fix decompress buffer sizeâ.

v2: Using vmalloc for "workspace->mem" due to the size limit.
