Subject: [PATCH v2] mtd: nftl: Remove VLA usage
Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2018 08:00:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180429150053.GA27374@beast> (raw)
On the quest to remove all stack VLAs from the kernel[1] this changes
the check_free_sectors() routine to use a kmalloc()ed buffer instead
of a large VLA stack buffer.
