From 16c14b4621c7b6fc4611abf1f86cd78cdb1b2b03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Fontenot Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 05:10:46 +1000 Subject: powerpc/pseries: Remove kmalloc call in handling writes to lparcfg There are only 4 valid name=value pairs for writes to /proc/ppc64/lparcfg. Current code allocates a buffer to copy this information in from the user. Since the longest name=value pair will easily fit into a buffer of 64 characters, simply put the buffer on the stack instead of allocating the buffer.
