[PATCH] KVM: SVM: Remove a useless zeroing of allocated memory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Depending of the memory size needed, we clear or not the allocated memory.
This is not consistent.

So remove the zeroing of the memory in the __vmalloc() case.

This is just a guess.

I don't know this code at all, but because of KVM, it is maybe safer to
clear the memory in both cases?
So, maybe it is better to use kzalloc() in the other path.
