Subject: [PATCH] fix weird logic in alloc_fdtable()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=92eb7a2f28d551acedeb5752263267a64b1f5ddf;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] fix weird logic in alloc_fdtable()

There's a fairly obvious infinite loop in there.

Also, use roundup_pow_of_two() rather than open-coding stuff.
