Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: Use kfree() in btrfs_ioctl_get_subvol_info()
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2020 11:31:59 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200616153159.10691-1-longman@redhat.com> (raw)

In btrfs_ioctl_get_subvol_info(), there is a classic case where kzalloc()
was incorrectly paired with kzfree(). According to David Sterba, there
isn't any sensitive information in the subvol_info that needs to be
cleared before freeing. So kzfree() isn't really needed, use kfree()
instead.
