Subject: [patch] reduce stack usage of sanitize_e820_map
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2002 17:48:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020815174825.F29874@redhat.com> (raw)

Hello,

Currently, sanitize_e820_map uses 0x738 bytes of stack.  The patch below 
moves the arrays into __initdata, reducing stack usage to 0x34 bytes.
