Subject: [PATCH 0/5] malloc: add __free() cleanup handlers
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 12:47:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922104813.317584-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
The cleanup infrastructure was added to barebox a while back in
commit 332e3542e5ed ("Port Linux __cleanup() based guard
infrastructure"), but without any DEFINE_FREE() handlers, so nothing
could be passed to __free() so far.
Let's start with malloc and kmalloc, so buffers can be tied to the
scope they are used in:
void *buf __free(free) = malloc(size);
void *foo __free(kfree) = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
[k]free_sensitive() looks up the usable size of the buffer before
zeroing it, so it gets the same test rather than just a NULL check
to avoid an error pointer dereference inside the allocator.
