Subject: [patch V3 07/20] x86/ioperm: Avoid bitmap allocation if no permissions are set
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 21:42:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191113210104.404509322@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20191113204240.767922595@linutronix.de

If ioperm() is invoked the first time and the @turn_on argument is 0, then
there is no point to allocate a bitmap just to clear permissions which are
not set.
