From 2669d63d20683828f673b606915957f3a070602d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harald Welte Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 20:19:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETFILTER]: move conntrack helper buffers from BSS to kmalloc()ed memory According to DaveM, it is preferrable to have large data structures be allocated dynamically from the module init() function rather than putting them as static global variables into BSS. This patch moves the conntrack helper packet buffers into dynamically allocated memory. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte Signed-off-by: David S.
