Using kmalloc() to allocate the decompression workspace for zstd may
trigger the following warning when large modules are loaded (i.e., xfs):

However, continuous physical memory does not seem to be required in
module_zstd_decompress(), so use vmalloc() instead, to prevent the
warning and avoid potential failures at loading compressed modules.

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.
