From 27ab41e2c183e960a045c8f3b87b2341a5f10f19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2018 08:00:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: nftl: Remove VLA usage 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.
