You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark From 480689617510381391b3d906549477b948d9c4bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars-Peter Clausen Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 18:11:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: dapm: Avoid duplicating immutable strings When creating a new widget from a template the name string of the template is duplicated for the newly created widget. This is necessary because in some cases the string might be stored on the stack or other volatile memory locations. But most of the time the string is static const data, which means it is possible to use it directly without having to worry that it might get freed or changed. Use kstrdup_const() to handle duplicating the string. This function is capable of detecting whether a string is immutable and if it is returns the input without duplicating it. This will slightly reduce the runtime memory footprint of DAPM and also speed up initialization.
