From 349ce993ac706869d553a1816426d3a4bfda02b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:58:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: md5: do not use alloc_percpu() percpu tcp_md5sig_pool contains memory blobs that ultimately go through sg_set_buf(). -> sg_set_page(sg, virt_to_page(buf), buflen, offset_in_page(buf)); This requires that whole area is in a physically contiguous portion of memory. And that @buf is not backed by vmalloc(). Given that alloc_percpu() can use vmalloc() areas, this does not fit the requirements. Replace alloc_percpu() by a static DEFINE_PER_CPU() as tcp_md5sig_pool is small anyway, there is no gain to dynamically allocate it.
