We found the following new message in kernel log, do you increase vmalloc usage in your
patch?
[ 6.939422] vmap allocation for size 16384 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to
increase size.
[ 6.939422] vmap allocation for size 16384 failed: use

[ 6.955278] lguest: could not map switcher pages high
This actually comes from lguest.
Several weeks ago I tried lguest on qemu-kvm-i386 and saw similar problem.
I didn't debug it further, but it's OK if disable CONFIG_SMP.
I just double-checked it with v4.2-rc1(without this patchset)
CONFIG_SMP: see the vmalloc error
!CONFIG_SMP: no problem
Could you confirm?
BTW, it seams "qemu-kvm-i386 guest" as "lguest host" doesn't
work.
Need to run lguest on bare metal.
Thanks.
Thanks,
