| |
Hello,
I ran into an issue with perfmon where I ended up calling kmalloc() with a size of zero. To my surprise, this did not return NULL but a valid data address.
I am wondering if this is a property of kmalloc() or simply a bug. It is the case that the __kmalloc() code does not check for zero size.
Thanks,
