Subject: NFS: Prevent memory allocation failure in nfsacl_encode()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f61f6da0d53842e849bab7f69e1431bd3de1136d;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

NFS: Prevent memory allocation failure in nfsacl_encode()

nfsacl_encode() allocates memory in certain cases.  This of course
is not guaranteed to work.

Since commit 9f06c719 "SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR encoder API", the
kernel's XDR encoders can't return a result indicating possibly a
failure, so a memory allocation failure in nfsacl_encode() has become
fatal (ie, the XDR code Oopses) in some cases.

However, the allocated memory is a tiny fixed amount, on the order
of 40-50 bytes.  We can easily use a stack-allocated buffer for
this, with only a wee bit of nose-holding.
