Subject: lib/kasprintf.c: use kmalloc_track_caller() to get accurate traces for kvasprintf
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3e1aa66bd423950aa69c3d50d91818af1d16e0a7;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

lib/kasprintf.c: use kmalloc_track_caller() to get accurate traces for kvasprintf

Previously kvasprintf() allocation was being done through kmalloc(),
thus producing an inaccurate trace report.

This is a common problem: in order to get accurate callsite tracing, a
lib/utils function shouldn't allocate kmalloc but instead use
kmalloc_track_caller.
