From ffdb07f31252625b7bcbf1f424d7beccff02ba97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2019 13:19:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Free sme_early_buffer after init The contents of sme_early_buffer should be cleared after __sme_early_enc_dec() because it is used to move encrypted and decrypted data, but since __sme_early_enc_dec() is __init this buffer simply can be freed after init. This saves a page that is otherwise unreferenced after init.
