MM: alloc_large_system_hash() can free some memory for non power-of-two bucketsize
alloc_large_system_hash() is called at boot time to allocate space for several large hash tables. Lately, TCP hash table was changed and its bucketsize is not a power-of-two anymore. On most setups, alloc_large_system_hash() allocates one big page (order > 0) with __get_free_pages(GFP_ATOMIC, order). This single high_order page has a power-of-two size, bigger than the needed size. We can free all pages that wont be used by the hash table. On a 1GB i386 machine, this patch saves 128 KB of LOWMEM memory. TCP established hash table entries: 32768 (order: 6, 393216 bytes) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
