Subject: linux_compat: handle __GFP_ZERO in kmalloc()
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6b9f9eadffb5f64801746593784e12f07f2fadd0;p=u-boot.git

linux_compat: handle __GFP_ZERO in kmalloc()

Currently, kzalloc() returns zero-filled memory, while kmalloc()
simply ignores the second argument and never fills the memory
area with zeros.

I want kmalloc(size, __GFP_ZERO) to behave as kzalloc() does,
which will make it easier to add more memory allocator variants.

With the introduction of __GFP_ZERO flag, going forward, kzmalloc()
variants can fall back to kmalloc() enabling the __GFP_ZERO flag.
