From b50ec7d8070ae7a39fe78e65a8812bbc3ca2f7ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Bunk Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 00:08:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] kcalloc(): INT_MAX -> ULONG_MAX Since size_t has the same size as a long on all architectures, it's enough for overflow checks to check against ULONG_MAX. This change could allow a compiler better optimization (especially in the n=1 case). The practical effect seems to be positive, but quite small: text data bss dec hex filename 21762380 5859870 1848928 29471178 1c1b1ca vmlinux-old 21762211 5859870 1848928 29471009 1c1b121 vmlinux-patched Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/slab.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/slab.h b/include/linux/slab.h index 8cf52939d0..38bed95dda 100644 --- a/include/linux/slab.h +++ b/include/linux/slab.h @@ -118,7 +118,7 @@ extern void *kzalloc(size_t, gfp_t); */ static inline void *kcalloc(size_t n, size_t size, gfp_t flags) { - if (n != 0 && size > INT_MAX / n) + if (n != 0 && size > ULONG_MAX / n) return NULL; return kzalloc(n * size, flags); } -- 2.39.5
