From eb6d1abf1bd8bf1beb45b5401c8324bdb8f893c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 00:53:38 +0100 Subject: rhashtable: better high order allocation attempts When trying to allocate future tables via bucket_table_alloc(), it seems overkill on large table shifts that we probe for kzalloc() unconditionally first, as it's likely to fail. Only probe with kzalloc() for more reasonable table sizes and use vzalloc() either as a fallback on failure or directly in case of large table sizes.
