All of the "name" buffers here are at most LST_NAME_SIZE+1 bytes, so 33 bytes at most. They are only used temporarily during the life of the function that allocates them. So it is much simpler to just allocate on the stack. Worst case is lst_tet_add_ioct(), which allocates 3 for these which 99 bytes on the stack, instead of the 24 that would have been allocated for 64-bit pointers.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
