From f946eeb9313ff1470758e171a60fe7438a2ded3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:07:22 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] module: Remove module size limit Module size was limited to 64MB, this was legacy limitation due to vmalloc() which was removed a while ago. Limiting module size to 64MB is both pointless and affects real world use cases.
