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.

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.
