Subject: [PATCH v10 3/4] tpm, tpm2-cmd: Use stack for trivial cases
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2025 05:08:03 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250921020804.1088824-4-jarkko@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250921020804.1088824-1-jarkko@kernel.org>
From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@opinsys.com>
Use stack allocation for trivial "low-hanging fruit" sites, which are often
also critical code paths associated with probing and power management.
