I can't understand why you continue to use get_free_pages (now also with the page cache) to alloc the hashtables memory. I just pointed this out at once (no reply). Nobody will ever be able to run without the buffer/page cache so modularization is not an issue (if somebody will want to run linux without the pagecache then it will have to deal with so many things that allocating the buffer with get_free_pages will be a really minor issue). And allocating the memory outside GFP we could avoid taking so many memory order-list uptodate all the time, no?
