Subject: [PATCH net-next] keys, dns: Use kmalloc_flex to improve dns_resolver_preparse
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 22:49:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226214930.785423-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Use kmalloc_flex() when allocating a new 'struct user_key_payload' in
dns_resolver_preparse() to replace the open-coded size arithmetic.
