If that were not able to fall back to vmalloc, it would be pretty useless. static inline __alloc_size(1, 2) void *kvcalloc(size_t n, size_t size, gfp_t flags) { return kvmalloc_array(n, size, flags | __GFP_ZERO); } Maybe kvcalloc is the function we TTM should be using here anyway, instead of open-coding the kvmalloc_array call with an extra GFP flag.
