From ffb73b08e79418fbf3f2ea44a7818a6715399d2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Mon, 22 May 2017 17:39:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: info: Use kvzalloc() for a temporary write buffer We used to use kmalloc (more exactly, krealloc()) for creating and growing the temporary buffer for text proc write. It can grow up to 16kB, and it's already a bit doubtful whether it's always safe to use kmalloc(). With the recent addition of kvmalloc(), we can have a better chance for succeed of memory allocation, so let's switch to that new API.
