Subject: [PATCH 4/6] sandbox: libc_malloc: fail allocations exceeding MALLOC_MAX_SIZE
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2025 21:30:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250220203032.3350247-4-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250220203032.3350247-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

The libc allocator is a bit unpredictable, because overcommit can
mean that big allocations succeed initially, only to OOM later.

Let's thus enforce a maximum allocation limit on the barebox side in
alignment with the bare metal allocators.
