[PATCH v3 10/15] mm/slab: kmalloc: pass requests larger than order-1 page to page allocator
From: Hyeonggon Yoo
Date: Tue Jul 12 2022 - 09:41:18 EST
There is not much benefit for serving large objects in kmalloc().
Let's pass large requests to page allocator like SLUB for better
maintenance of common code.
Signed-off-by: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@xxxxxxxxx>

v2->v3:
This patch is basically same but it now depends on
kmalloc_large_node_notrace().
