From b3218a79aa3d58b975b066c300153a8520f7051c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 02:15:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] char: kill unneeded memsets char, another tmp_buf cleanup No need to allocate one page as a side buffer. It's no more used. Clean this (de)allocs of this useless memory pages in char subtree.
