Subject: [PATCH] Input: applespi - avoid wasting some memory
Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2022 15:08:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0db94f84920663f3bd45a73e2ae73950627a377f.1663506472.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> (raw)

When the 'struct applespi_data' structure is allocated at the beginning of
applespi_probe(), 2504 bytes are allocated.

Because of the way memory is allocated, it ends to a 4096 bytes allocation.
So, about 1500 bytes are wasted.

Later in this function, when 'tx_buffer', 'tx_status', 'rx_buffer' and
'msg_buf' are allocated, 256, 4, 256 and 512 bytes are requested (~1 ko).
A devm_ memory allocation has a small overhead of 40 bytes. So, for the
same reason as above, it ends to allocate 512, 64, 512 and 1024 (~2 ko).

All that said, defining these 4 arrays as part of 'struct applespi_data'
saves 2 ko of runtime memory.

3504 bytes are now requested, and 4096 really allocated. All these 4
arrays fit in the 'wasted' memory of the first allocation.
