Subject: [PATCH] crypto: ecc - Streamline alloc_point and remove {alloc,free}_digits_space
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:27:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251218212713.1616-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Check 'ndigits' before allocating 'struct ecc_point' to return early if
needed. Inline the code from and remove ecc_alloc_digits_space() and
ecc_free_digits_space(), respectively.
