Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH] Prevent malloc with size 0
Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 12:24:01 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CC006B1.8000905@intracomdefense.com> (raw)

In case malloc is invoked with requested size 0, this patch will prevent
the execution of the allocation algorithm (because it corrupts the data 
structures)
and will return 0 to the caller.
