H A Dtnc.c6c0c42cd Tue Nov 18 12:20:05 CST 2008 Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> UBIFS: do not allocate too much

Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation
starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still
works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard
(non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read
to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of
allocating 128KiB every time.

This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll
have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now
the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could
path either pre-allocated or allocated information to
'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()'
not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there.
