I'm afraid that this will work some of the time, but not all of the
time. Specifically, there is no guarantee that any of the available
free (or cached) pages after the VM_WAIT will fall within the range of
suitable physical addresses. Moreover, and perhaps most worrisome, is
that this function could do a lot of spinning. Every time this function
sleeps and a single page is freed (or cached) by someone else, this
function will be reawakened. With a little bad luck, you could spin
indefinitely.
For essentially this reason, contigmalloc(), kmem_alloc_contig(), and
kmem_alloc_attr() don't use VM_WAIT, but instead a function called
vm_contig_grow_cache().
