Linux kernel source tree
In order to instantiate modules on the firmware side, the driver sends payload with module configuration. In some case size of this information is not known before hand, so driver allocates temporary memory during module creation and frees it after use. Optimize the flow a bit, by preallocating maximum buffer. This removes the time spend on allocating memory, as well as potential OOM errors during module initialization. Handlers for modules, where configuration data fits on stack, are left as is.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
