[patch 35/96] ipc: drop non-RCU allocation

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

 



From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ipc: drop non-RCU allocation

The only users of ipc_alloc() were ipc_rcu_alloc() and the on-heap sem_io
fall-back memory.  Better to just open-code these to make things easier to
read.

[manfred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: Rediff due to inclusion of memset() into ipc_rcu_alloc()]
