Hi folks, Since I am a new contributor, I would like to introduce myself first. I am 15, I am from the UK, and I write C. I am interested in lib/, ARM devices, and Android.
Enough of the introduction. Let's talk about the patch. avb_replace() is documented to return NULL on OOM. It already did that before any output was built, but if a later allocation failed after the first replacement, it returned the partial buffer instead. The callers only treat NULL as failure, so they could keep booting with truncated AVB bootargs. This patch frees the partial buffer and returns NULL. The existing callers can then report OOM instead of accepting a shortened result.
