From 91c6a05f72a996bee5133e76374ab3ad7d3b9b72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 15:22:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: faster kmalloc_array(), kcalloc() When both arguments to kmalloc_array() or kcalloc() are known at compile time then their product is known at compile time but search for kmalloc cache happens at runtime not at compile time.
