    [PATCH] tvec_bases too large for per-cpu data · a4a6198b
    Jan Beulich 提交于
    With internal Xen-enabled kernels we see the kernel's static per-cpu data
    area exceed the limit of 32k on x86-64, and even native x86-64 kernels get
    fairly close to that limit.  I generally question whether it is reasonable
    to have data structures several kb in size allocated as per-cpu data when
    the space there is rather limited.
    
    The biggest arch-independent consumer is tvec_bases (over 4k on 32-bit
    archs, over 8k on 64-bit ones), which now gets converted to use dynamically
    allocated memory instead.
