From 354a1f4d99240f53980275416ca3e1ac2ee73d5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:54:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] alloc_uid: cleanup Use kmem_cache_zalloc(), remove large amounts of initialisation code and ifdeffery. Note: this assumes that memset(*atomic_t, 0) correctly initialises the atomic_t. This is true for all present archtiectures and if it becomes false for a future architecture then we'll need to make large changes all over the place anyway.
