From 9903a927a4aea4b1ea42356a8453fca664df0b18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Tosatti Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 17:44:19 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: drop zeroing on mmu_memory_cache_alloc Zeroing on mmu_memory_cache_alloc is unnecessary since: - Smaller areas are pre-allocated with kmem_cache_zalloc. - Page pointed by ->spt is overwritten with prefetch_page and entries in page pointed by ->gfns are initialized before reading.
