Subject: Re: [PATCH iwl-next] i40e: Use correct buffer size
Hi Alexander,
Thank you so much for your reply, I looked at the modification you
mentioned, it's really cool. I'll definitely try it next time.
But when using it, will it be easy to forget to free up memory?
Although 'kmalloc_track_caller' is used, according to my understanding,
it is also necessary to release the memory at the end of use.
