Subject: selinux: use k[mz]alloc() to allocate temporary buffers
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bc3f08d1ef15ebbd32faf0b10cd9699b90b9d30c;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

selinux: use k[mz]alloc() to allocate temporary buffers

Several functions in selinuxfs.c allocate temporary buffers using
__get_free_page() or get_zeroed_page().

These buffers are used either to store a string generated by snprintf() (in
sel_make_bools()) or to copy data from user (sel_read_avc_hash_stats() and
sel_read_sidtab_hash_stats()).

Such usage does not require struct page access and it is better to allocate
these buffers with kzalloc()/kmalloc() that provide better scalability and
more debugging possibilities.

Replace use of get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc() and usage of
__get_free_page() with kmalloc().
