[PATCH] fs: ramfs: allocate once instead of twice per ramfs chunk

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

 



There's no reason to maintain two allocations per chunk, so just collect
them both into the same calloc call.

No functional change.

I didn't test thoroughly what performance improvement this might bring,
but it looks like a sensible thing to do.
