[054/127] netfilter: nf_conntrack: allow nf_ct_alloc_hashtable() to get highmem pages

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Dec 07 2010 - 21:10:26 EST


2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 6b1686a71e3158d3c5f125260effce171cc7852b upstream.

commit ea781f197d6a8 (use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and get rid of call_rcu())
did a mistake in __vmalloc() call in nf_ct_alloc_hashtable().

I forgot to add __GFP_HIGHMEM, so pages were taken from LOWMEM only.
