Struct Vmalloc

pub struct Vmalloc;

The virtually contiguous kernel allocator.

Vmalloc allocates pages from the page level allocator and maps them into the contiguous kernel virtual space. It is typically used for large allocations. The memory allocated with this allocator is not physically contiguous.

For more details see self.
