Subject: [PATCH 2/2] init: Combine blacklist entry allocations in initcall_blacklist()
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 15:23:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261115142321.96774-4-blum@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261115142321.96774-3-blum@kernel.org>
Use a flexible array member for the function name and allocate it
together with the blacklist entry. This removes the pointer and saves
one allocation call per blacklist entry.
