From 7684bd334d9d4ca4f09873e88d9c0131a2cf6c3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peng Wang Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 15:52:34 +0800 Subject: pstore: Avoid duplicate call of persistent_ram_zap() When initialing a prz, if invalid data is found (no PERSISTENT_RAM_SIG), the function call path looks like this: ramoops_init_prz -> persistent_ram_new -> persistent_ram_post_init -> persistent_ram_zap persistent_ram_zap As we can see, persistent_ram_zap() is called twice. We can avoid this by adding an option to persistent_ram_new(), and only call persistent_ram_zap() when it is needed.
