Subject: [PATCH 1/1] net/ena: fix metrics excessive memory consumption
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2024 15:49:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240328134925.1150-2-shaibran@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240328134925.1150-1-shaibran@amazon.com>

From: Shai Brandes <shaibran@amazon.com>

The driver accidentally allocates a huge memory
buffer for the customer metrics because it uses
an uninitialized variable for the buffer length.
This can lead to excessive memory footprint for
the driver which can even fail to initialize in
case of insufficient memory.
