Subject: [PATCH 2/2] lib/lcm.c: lcm(n,0)=lcm(0,n) is 0, not n
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:46:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1387291572-12348-2-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1387291572-12348-1-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>

Return the mathematically correct answer when an argument is 0.

I don't think there is any instance of lcm(0,n) in the kernel, but at
least this reduces code size a little.
