no only head pointers for hashes are preallocated. conntrack structures themselves are allocated by the slab allocator: kmem_cache_alloc() called in init_conntrack() which initializes a single conntrack entry. So the initial memory allocations for conntrack and nat are conntrack: htable_size * 8 (8 is sizeof(list_head)) nat: 2 * htable_size * 8 -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
