netfilter: use kvmalloc_array to allocate memory for hashtable
nf_ct_alloc_hashtable is used to allocate memory for conntrack, NAT bysrc and expectation hashtable. Assuming 64k bucket size, which means 7th order page allocation, __get_free_pages, called by nf_ct_alloc_hashtable, will trigger the direct memory reclaim and stall for a long time, when system has lots of memory stress so replace combination of __get_free_pages and vzalloc with kvmalloc_array, which provides a overflow check and a fallback if no high order memory is available, and do not retry to reclaim memory, reduce stall and remove nf_ct_free_hashtable, since it is just a kvfree Signed-off-by: Zhang Yu <zhangyu31@baidu.com> Signed-off-by: Wang Li <wangli39@baidu.com> Signed-off-by: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
