The patch titled ibmvscsi: avoid unnecessary use of kzalloc_pool has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ibmvscsi-avoid-unnecessary-use-of-kzalloc_pool.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ibmvscsi: avoid unnecessary use of kzalloc_pool From: Sage Weil <sage@xxxxxxxxxxxx> The allocated struct is manually zeroed after allocation, so avoid using the (broken) kzalloc mempool (which does not re-zero previously used items when they are returned to the pool).
