[PATCH 1/1] Char: specialix, kill unneeded page alloc

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

 



specialix, kill unneeded page alloc

There is no need to have allocated zeroed page in the driver at all. Save a
little bit memory and some ticks by deleting that allocation and freeing.
