| |
mtdchar_write_ioctl() calls kmalloc() with the 'size' argument set to the smaller of two values: the write request's data/OOB length provided by user space and the erase block size of the MTD device. If the latter is large, kmalloc() may not be able to serve such allocation requests. Use kvmalloc() instead. Correspondingly, replace kfree() calls with kvfree() calls.
