Recent multi-page biovec rework allowed creation of bios that can span large regions - up to 128 megabytes in the case of btrfs. OTOH btrfs' submission path currently allocates a contiguous array to store the checksums for every bio submitted. This means we can request up to (128mb / BTRFS_SECTOR_SIZE) * 4 bytes + 32bytes of memory from kmalloc. On busy systems with possibly fragmented memory said kmalloc can fail which will trigger BUG_ON due to improper error handling IO submission context in btrfs. Until error handling is improved or bios in btrfs limited to a more manageable size (e.g. 1m) let's use kvmalloc to fallback to vmalloc for such large allocations. There is no hard requirement that the memory allocated for checksums during IO submission has to be contiguous, but this is a simple fix that does not require several non-contiguous allocations. For small writes this is unlikely to have any visible effect since kmalloc will still satisfy allocation requests as usual. For larger requests the code will just fallback to vmalloc. We've performed evaluation on several workload types and there was no significant difference kmalloc vs kvmalloc.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
