H A Dif_vlan.hdiff 5c15bdec5c38f4ccf73ef2585fc80a6164de9554 Fri Mar 02 22:44:51 CST 2007 Dan Aloni <da-x@monatomic.org> [VLAN]: Avoid a 4-order allocation.

This patch splits the vlan_group struct into a multi-allocated struct. On
x86_64, the size of the original struct is a little more than 32KB, causing
a 4-order allocation, which is prune to problems caused by buddy-system
external fragmentation conditions.

I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the
softirq context of the RCU callback.
