Subject: bootmem allocator
Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 22:56:13 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080407185613.GD9211@cvg> (raw)
Hi Ingo, Peter,
small question. It was a patch recently posted which removes
memset(x, 0, x) after __alloc_bootmem call. There are a few another
code snippets who still call memset(x, 0, x). And who is responsible for
memory clearing? bootmem allocator or caller?
