[PATCH] mm/page_alloc.c: fix early params garbage value accesses

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

 



From: Mateusz Nosek <mateusznosek0@xxxxxxxxx>

Previously in '__init early_init_on_alloc' and '__init early_init_on_free'
the return values from 'kstrtobool' were not handled properly. That caused
potential garbage value read from variable 'bool_result'. Introduced patch
fixes error handling.
