[PATCH 6.1 341/440] devres: Fix devm_krealloc() wasting memory

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

 



6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c884e3249f753dcef7a2b2023541ac1dc46b318e upstream.

Driver API devm_krealloc() calls alloc_dr() with wrong argument
@total_new_size, so causes more memory to be allocated than required
fix this memory waste by using @new_size as the argument for alloc_dr().
