Subject: [PATCH 6/9] netem: distribution table changes
Date: Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:35:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100806193559.022225705@vyatta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100806193548.007978639@vyatta.com

[-- Attachment #1: netem-dist-vmalloc.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1408 bytes --]

Fix some issues with distribution table in netem:
  * Make maximum size visible to user space
  * Use vmalloc to avoid allocating large physical contiguous memory.
    (maybe this should use flex array?)
