Subject: [PATCH] efi/cper: use stack buffer for error record decoding
Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2021 08:51:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210901065121.642188-1-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
Joe reports that using a statically allocated buffer for converting CPER
error records into human readable text is probably a bad idea. Even
though we are not aware of any actual issues, a stack buffer is clearly
a better choice here anyway, so let's move the buffer into the stack
frames of the two functions that refer to it.
