-Subject: /proc/stat: convert to single_open_size()
-
-From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
-
-commit f74373a5cc7a0155d232c4e999648c7a95435bb2 upstream.
-
-These two patches are supposed to "fix" failed order-4 memory
-allocations which have been observed when reading /proc/stat.  The
-problem has been observed on s390 as well as on x86.
-
-To address the problem change the seq_file memory allocations to
-fallback to use vmalloc, so that allocations also work if memory is
-fragmented.
-
-This approach seems to be simpler and less intrusive than changing
-/proc/stat to use an interator.  Also it "fixes" other users as well,
-which use seq_file's single_open() interface.
-
-This patch (of 2):
-
-Use seq_file's single_open_size() to preallocate a buffer that is large
-enough to hold the whole output, instead of open coding it.  Also
-calculate the requested size using the number of online cpus instead of
-possible cpus, since the size of the output only depends on the number
-of online cpus.
