I think we should remove these kmalloc(0, ...) warnings prior to the 2.6.22 release, put them back afterwards. Actually it would be useful to have some config variable which is "false" for production kernels (2.6.x, 2.6.x.y) and "true" for development kernels (2.6.x-rcN). I suspect we'd end up using this in quite a lot of places for general developer-nags which shouldn't be exposed to users of production kernels. The problem with this is that on the day Linus goes from 2.6.x-rc7 to 2.6.x we suddenly get a compile-time kernel which nobody has tested, so we'd need to set CONFIG_DEVELOPMENT_KERNEL to false around the -rc4/5 timeframe. I'm not sure how we could do this, apart from patching and unpatching a config file each time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
