From 7fd272550bd43cc1d7289ef0ab2fa50de137e767 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2007 10:14:36 -0800 Subject: Avoid double memclear() in SLOB/SLUB Both slob and slub react to __GFP_ZERO by clearing the allocation, which means that passing the GFP_ZERO bit down to the page allocator is just wasteful and pointless.
