Subject: [v2] usb: iowarrior: replace kmalloc with kmalloc_array
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 12:44:15 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180823174415.GA26008@embeddedor.com> (raw)

A common flaw in the kernel is integer overflow during memory allocation
size calculations. In an effort to reduce the frequency of these bugs,
kmalloc_array was implemented, which allocates memory for an array,
while at the same time detects integer overflow.

This patch replaces cases of:

kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
	kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com>

Changes in v2:
 - Align GFP_KERNEL to open parenthesis.
