From 75287a677ba1beab7ca0db948468f44eb23a709f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrzej Hajda Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2015 14:36:27 -0800 Subject: kernfs: convert node name allocation to kstrdup_const sysfs frequently performs duplication of strings located in read-only memory section. Replacing kstrdup by kstrdup_const allows to avoid such operations.
