From 82fab442f5322b016f72891c0db2436c6a6c20b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:38:33 +1030 Subject: modules: don't hand 0 to vmalloc. In commit d0a21265dfb5fa8a David Rientjes unified various archs' module_alloc implementation (including x86) and removed the graduitous shortcut for size == 0. Then, in commit de7d2b567d040e3b, Joe Perches added a warning for zero-length vmallocs, which can happen without kallsyms on modules with no init sections (eg. zlib_deflate). Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.
