[PATCH] tcp: use kvmalloc_array() to allocate table_perturb

From: Muchun Song
Date: Mon Jun 06 2022 - 03:09:46 EST


In our server, there may be no high order (>= 6) memory since we reserve
lots of HugeTLB pages when booting. Then the system panic. So use
kvmalloc_array() to allocate table_perturb.
