Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next 3/3] libbpf: btf typed dump does not need to allocate dump data
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2021 23:46:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1626475617-25984-4-git-send-email-alan.maguire@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1626475617-25984-1-git-send-email-alan.maguire@oracle.com>

By using the stack for this small structure, we avoid the need
for freeing memory in error paths.
