Subject: [PATCH] fs: efi: don't leak the file info buffer in efifs_truncate()
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 09:16:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904071621.53334-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
The 1 KiB EFI_FILE_INFO buffer is never freed on any of the three
exits, and this runs on every truncating open.
