[PATCH v3 9/9] initramfs: avoid static buffer for error message

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

 



The dynamic error message printed if CONFIG_RD_$ALG compression support
is missing needn't be propagated up to the caller via a static buffer.
Print it immediately via pr_err() and set @message to a const string to
flag error.

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7695    1102       8    8805    2265 ./init/initramfs.o

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7683    1006       8    8697    21f9 ./init/initramfs.o
