It caused some troubles when a lock inside kmalloc is contended because task local storage would allocate memory using kmalloc. It'd create a recusion and even crash in my system. There could be a couple of workarounds but I think the simplest one is to use a pre-allocated hash map. We could fix the task local storage to use the safe BPF allocator, but it takes time so let's change this until it happens actually.

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 Restructured Text 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.
