[PATCH 0/3] some minor memory allocation cleanups

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

 



These are a result of me poking at the results of:

  git grep 'x[mc]alloc.*[+*] '

looking for any buffer allocation computations that could overflow (and
hence under-allocate).

There are a few hits left after this in the commit-graph code. Those
will be dealt with in a separate series (coming soon!) since they have
other problems, as discussed in:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20191027042116.GA5801@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

(those have to do with normalize_path_copy(), hence the only
semi-related documentation patch here).

  [1/3]: normalize_path_copy(): document "dst" size expectations
  [2/3]: walker_fetch(): avoid raw array length computation
  [3/3]: traverse_trees(): use stack array for name entries
