Subject: Replace kmalloc and memset in get_undo_list with kzalloc
Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2006 19:31:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1150165865.21787.85.camel@stark> (raw)

This patch simplifies get_undo_list() by dropping the unnecessary cast,
removing the size variable, and switching to kzalloc() instead of a
kmalloc() followed by a memset().

This cleanup was split then modified from Jes Sorenson's Task Notifiers
patches.
