Hi Rob, Chintan, This patch resolves one of the issues that Rob had raised. The space for the phandle cache is freed after boot, instead of existing until shutdown. Chintan, can you please apply this patch and see how it impacts your boot time? The portion of the patch that removes code from resolver.c will fail on 4.9 because that code does not exist yet -- you can just remove that portion of the patch. -Frank On 01/31/18 12:05, frowand.list@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx> > > Create a cache of the nodes that contain a phandle property.
