The patch titled Subject: mm: update callers to use HASH_ZERO flag has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-updated-callers-to-use-hash_zero-flag.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-updated-callers-to-use-hash_zero-flag.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-updated-callers-to-use-hash_zero-flag.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: update callers to use HASH_ZERO flag Update dcache, inode, pid, mountpoint, and mount hash tables to use HASH_ZERO, and remove initialization after allocations. In case of places where HASH_EARLY was used such as in __pv_init_lock_hash the zeroed hash table was already assumed, because memblock zeroes the memory.
