[syslinux] [PATCH] efi: Suspicious size reduction in emalloc

[celelibi at gmail.com]

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com>

It could happen on 32 bits architecture that the memory size really allocated
could be less than required. On 64 bits, allocate_pages may be called
more times than needed.

This closes bug #39.
