From 3ea2f2b96f9e636f49eb10962e96db3e19cab157 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 22:10:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Do not waste PAGE_SIZE bytes for ALIGN(8) in perf_event_mmap_event() perf_event_mmap_event() does kzalloc(PATH_MAX + sizeof(u64)) to ensure we can align the size later. However this means that we actually allocate PAGE_SIZE * 2 buffer, seems too much. Change this code to allocate PATH_MAX==PAGE_SIZE bytes, but tell d_path() to not use the last sizeof(u64) bytes. Note: it is not clear why do we need __GFP_ZERO, see the next patch.
