[PATCH] Revert "fbcon: Use kzalloc() in fbcon_prepare_logo()"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This reverts commit a6a00d7e8ffd78d1cdb7a43f1278f081038c638f.

The syzbot report turned out to be a false possitive, caused by a KMSAN
problem.  Indeed, after allocating the buffer, it is fully initialized
using scr_memsetw().  Hence there is no point in allocating zeroed
memory, while this does incur some overhead.
