From 3c6df2a9177c010bf811c361149069e4bfd9bb11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Collins Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 13:57:43 -0700 Subject: Avoid zero size allocation in cache_k8_northbridges() kmalloc for flush_words resulted in zero size allocation when no k8_northbridges existed. Short circuit the code path for this case. Also remove uneeded zeroing of num_k8_northbridges just after checking if it is zero.
