PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE defines the maximum size that can by used for the per-CPU data size used by modules. This is 8KiB. Commit035fcdc4d2("openvswitch: Merge three per-CPU structures into one") restructured the per-CPU memory allocation for the module and moved the separate alloc_percpu() invocations at module init time to a static per-CPU variable which is allocated by the module loader. The size of the per-CPU data section for openvswitch is 6488 bytes which is ~80% of the available per-CPU memory. Together with a few other modules it is easy to exhaust the available 8KiB of memory. Allocate ovs_pcpu_storage dynamically at module init time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
