Subject: [PATCH] usb: core: config.c: use buffer on stack rather then on heap
Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2010 14:38:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <871veecl05.fsf@erwin.mina86.com> (raw)

usb_get_configuration() uses a temporary buffer allocated on heap
to read USB configuration descriptor.  The buffer is just nine
bytes an so it is a waste to allocate it on heap where it can be
allocated on stack with the rest of local variables.  This
simplifies the code and minimises memory usage.
