Re: make kcalloc() a static inline

Adrian Bunk writes:

kcalloc() doesn't do much more than calling kzalloc(), and gcc has better optimizing opportunities when it's inlined. The result of this patch with a fulll kernel compile (roughly equivalent to "make allyesconfig") shows a minimal size improvement:
