From 43ca5bc4f72ed22e6e20feabdd3eab3c721d98cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Mon, 8 May 2017 15:57:18 -0700 Subject: lib/rhashtable.c: simplify a strange allocation pattern alloc_bucket_locks allocation pattern is quite unusual. We are preferring vmalloc when CONFIG_NUMA is enabled. The rationale is that vmalloc will respect the memory policy of the current process and so the backing memory will get distributed over multiple nodes if the requester is configured properly. At least that is the intention, in reality rhastable is shrunk and expanded from a kernel worker so no mempolicy can be assumed. Let's just simplify the code and use kvmalloc helper, which is a transparent way to use kmalloc with vmalloc fallback, if the caller is allowed to block and use the flag otherwise.
