Subject: [PATCH v1 0/1] Remove the need to alloc memory in uv.c
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2025 16:38:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250327153824.61600-1-freude@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
The pkey handler is calling the uv in some circumstances
where no memory allocation is acceptable. As of now only
the uv_get_secret_metadata() function allocates memory.
As this is exactly one page, lets introduce a pre-allocated
work page and protect the concurrent use with a mutex to
remove dynamic memory allocation and free. This page may be
also used with future extension to the uv code.
