- device mapper using vcalloc() even though no such function has ever existed in the kernel (it's vmalloc + memset()).

#1 lore raw

Linus didn't include vcalloc() and we gave up on that one. We were the only ones using it anyway. Now it got reborn as a device-mapper private function called dm_vcalloc().

Please get the recent patches from

	http://people.sistina.com/~thornber/patches/2.[45]-stable,

apply and cross your fingers that Linus catches up ASAP ;)
