    • W
      mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() · 453431a5
      Waiman Long 提交于
      As said by Linus:
      
        A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
        Otherwise it's actively misleading.
      
        In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
        caller wants.
      
        In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
        future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
        something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.
      
      The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
      that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
      objects.
      
      Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
      added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
      In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
      that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.
      
      The renaming is done by using the command sequence:
      
        git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
        xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'
      
      followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
      a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.
