From 93ee4b7d9f0632690713aee604c49e298e634094 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2019 13:09:36 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] pstore/ram: Avoid needless alloc during header write Since the header is a fixed small maximum size, just use a stack variable to avoid memory allocation in the write path.
