Thanks for your patch.
Although this structure is 64 bytes... Not sure why kvmalloc() has
been used for this small chunk.
It's a small chunk indeed. Unnecessary usage of kvmalloc.
Although it's not critical (used only in slowpath), it'd be nice to
clean it up and directly call kzalloc, instead of aligning the kfree().
YueHaibing, can you please submit a v3 for this?

Tariq
