Subject: vmalloc: Remove static declaration of va from __get_vm_area_node
Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2011 13:20:21 +0530
Message-Id: <1323330621-31254-1-git-send-email-consul.kautuk@xxxxxxxxx>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.7.6
Static storage is not required for the struct vmap_area in
__get_vm_area_node.
Removing "static" to store this variable on the stack instead.
