[IPCOMP]: Use per-cpu buffers for compression/decompression.
Here is a really ugly patch to get IPCOMP to use per-cpu buffers. But I'm afraid it really is necessary. At 300K per SA IPCOMP isn't very affordable at all. With per-cpu buffers this goes down to 300K per CPU. I've also turned the kmalloc'ed scratch space into a vmalloc'ed one since people may be loading the ipcomp module after the system has been running for a while. On an i386 machine with 64M of RAM or less this can often cause a 64K kmalloc to fail. The crypto deflate buffer space are vmalloc'ed already as well. Part of the ugliness comes from the lazy allocation. However we need the lazy initialisation since new IPCOMP algorithms may be introduced in future. That means we can't allocate space for every single IPCOMP algorithm at module-load time. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
