Subject: staging: lustre: remove kmalloc from fld_proc_hash_seq_write
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=41dff7ac1a7c97f5532931154bfdf505d7ce1631;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

staging: lustre: remove kmalloc from fld_proc_hash_seq_write

This patch simplifies the fld_proc_hash_seq_write function
by removing the dynamic memory allocation.
The longest fh_name used so far in lustre is 4 characters.
We use a 8 bytes variable to be on the safe side.
