Subject: [PATCH v2 7/7] fs: HKDF - remove duplicate memory clearing
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2021 15:04:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8714658.CDJkKcVGEf@positron.chronox.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1772794.tdWV9SEqCh@positron.chronox.de>

The clearing of the OKM memory buffer in case of an error is already
performed by the HKDF implementation crypto_hkdf_expand. Thus, the
code clearing is not needed any more in the file system code base.
