4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jeff Mahoney <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit a8fd1f71749387c9a1053a83ff1c16287499a4e7 ] The srcu_struct in btrfs_fs_info scales in size with NR_CPUS. On kernels built with NR_CPUS=8192, this can result in kmalloc failures that prevent mounting. There is work in progress to try to resolve this for every user of srcu_struct but using kvzalloc will work around the failures until that is complete. As an example with NR_CPUS=512 on x86_64: the overall size of subvol_srcu is 3460 bytes, fs_info is 6496.
