From 0a08739e81671de2cb690774937fe510c000b27f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2010 23:43:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kmemleak: remove memset by using kzalloc We don't need to memset if we just use kzalloc() rather than kmalloc() in kmemleak_test_init().

Since kmemleak allocations can now fail more often, this patch also reduces the verbosity by passing __GFP_NOWARN and not dumping the stack trace when a kmemleak allocation fails.
