Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/6] netem: use vmalloc for distribution table
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 15:04:18 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110223230534.173432150@vyatta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110223230416.532009518@vyatta.com

[-- Attachment #1: netem-vmalloc.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1760 bytes --]

The netem probability table can be large (up to 64K bytes)
which may be too large to allocate in one contiguous chunk.

Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta•com>
