Hello Christoph,
> Subject says it: Can I resize a vmalloced area without copying?
It's possible, but it hasn't been done. Generally, the use of vmalloc is strongly discouraged for anything other than occasional allocation of large virtually contiguous memory areas. If possible, rework your code to manage its own sparsely populated buffer.
