From 0e90ad9bfdcc8835945ccb49f39c21ff3cb0b785 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shahed Shaikh Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 07:17:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] qlcnic: Don't use kzalloc unncecessarily for allocating large chunk of memory Driver allocates a large chunk of temporary buffer using kzalloc to copy FW image. As there is no real need of this memory to be physically contiguous, use vzalloc instead. Signed-off-by: Shahed Shaikh Signed-off-by: David S.
