kstrdups that early could cause additional issues. Its better to leave
things as they were.
For me is really all the same. But note that before those kstrdups, we
do a bunch of kmallocs as well already. (ex:
/* 4) Replace the bootstrap head arrays */
{
struct array_cache *ptr;
ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(struct arraycache_init), GFP_NOWAIT);
Which other point of issues do you see besides the memory allocation
done by strdup?
I agree with your comment that we shouldn't worry about those caches,
because only init code uses it.
Weather or not David's concern of wanting to delete those caches some
day is valid, I'll leave up to you guys to decide
