3.2.45-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Daniel Borkmann <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 586c31f3bf04c290dc0a0de7fc91d20aa9a5ee53 ] For sensitive data like keying material, it is common practice to zero out keys before returning the memory back to the allocator. Thus, use kzfree instead of kfree. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <[email protected]> Acked-by: Neil Horman <[email protected]> Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
