From 9a23075cef1ac6e73a95a489ac72f41c573ceb9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Daniel=20P=2E=20Berrang=C3=A9?= Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 13:36:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] chardev/char-socket: skip automatic zero-init of large array MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The 'tcp_chr_read' method has a 4k byte array used for copying data between the socket and device. Skip the automatic zero-init of this array to eliminate the performance overhead in the I/O hot path. The 'buf' array will be fully initialized when reading data off the network socket.
