Ard Biesheuvel 6a8487a1f2 crypto: scompress - defer allocation of scratch buffer to first use
The scompress code allocates 2 x 128 KB of scratch buffers for each CPU,
so that clients of the async API can use synchronous implementations
even from atomic context. However, on systems such as Cavium Thunderx
(which has 96 cores), this adds up to a non-negligible 24 MB. Also,
32-bit systems may prefer to use their precious vmalloc space for other
things,especially since there don't appear to be any clients for the
async compression API yet.

So let's defer allocation of the scratch buffers until the first time
we allocate an acompress cipher based on an scompress implementation.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
