[PATCH v4 0/3] mm, treewide: Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()
...spairings at a runtime cost of four comparisons, should the kfree/vfree/kvfree/kfree_const functions be consolidated into a single kfree? Something like the below: void kfree(const void *addr) { if (is_kernel_rodata((unsigned long)addr)) return; if (is_vmalloc_addr(addr)) _vfree(addr); else _kfree(addr); } #define kvfree kfree #define vfree kfree #define kfree_const kfree

[PATCH v4 0/3] mm, treewide: Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()
v4: - Break out the memzero_explicit() change as suggested by Dan Carpenter so that it can be backported to stable. - Drop the "crypto: Remove unnecessary memzero_explicit()" patch for now as there can be a bit more discussion on what is best. It will be introduced as a separate patch later on after this one is merged. This patchset makes a global rename of the kzfree()
