[PATCH] kcalloc(): INT_MAX -> ULONG_MAX
Since size_t has the same size as a long on all architectures, it's enough for overflow checks to check against ULONG_MAX. This change could allow a compiler better optimization (especially in the n=1 case). The practical effect seems to be positive, but quite small: text data bss dec hex filename 21762380 5859870 1848928 29471178 1c1b1ca vmlinux-old 21762211 5859870 1848928 29471009 1c1b121 vmlinux-patched Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
