Li RongQing ac40916a3f rtnetlink: introduce nlmsg_new_large and use it in rtnl_getlink
if a PF has 256 or more VFs, ip link command will allocate an order 3
memory or more, and maybe trigger OOM due to memory fragment,
the VFs needed memory size is computed in rtnl_vfinfo_size.

so introduce nlmsg_new_large which calls netlink_alloc_large_skb in
which vmalloc is used for large memory, to avoid the failure of
allocating memory

	__GFP_COMP|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC), order=3, oom_score_adj=0

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
