[PATCH 11/43] mceusb: remove pointless kmalloc

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

 



The previous code allocated a char buffer of size MCE_CMDBUF_SIZE (384) by
kzalloc():ing sizeof(unsigned) * MCE_CMDBUF_SIZE bytes.

The buffer was therefore 4 * the necessary size.

Additionally, zeroing out the buffer is pointless.

Replace the allocated buffer with a stack buffer.
