Subject: [PATCH] scsi: libiscsi: use kvzalloc for iscsi_pool_init
References: bsc#1077989
Git-commit: bfcc62ed7066268349e8e7955925bdaf4be0eec0
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
iscsiadm session login can fail with the following error:
iscsiadm: Could not login to [iface: default, target: iqn.1986-03.com...
iscsiadm: initiator reported error (9 - internal error)
When /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf sets node.session.cmds_max = 4096, it
results in 64K-sized kmallocs per session. A system under fragmented
slab pressure may not have any 64K objects available and fail iscsiadm
session login. Even though memory objects of a smaller size are
available, the large order allocation ends up failing.
The kernel prints a warning and does dump_stack, like below:
iscsid: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0xc0d0
CPU: 0 PID: 2456 Comm: iscsid Not tainted 4.1.12-61.1.28.el6uek.x86_64 #2
