Subject: [PATCH v20 net-next 3/9] devlink: heap-allocate param fill buffers in devlink_nl_param_fill
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 09:34:47 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609040453.711932-4-rkannoth@marvell.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609040453.711932-1-rkannoth@marvell.com>

devlink_nl_param_fill() kept two per-configuration-mode copies of
union devlink_param_value plus a struct devlink_param_gset_ctx on the
stack while building the Netlink reply. Allocate those with kcalloc()
and kzalloc_obj() instead, and route failures through a single cleanup
path so temporary buffers are always freed.
