Subject: [PULL 06/14] block/iscsi: Document why we use raw malloc()
Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2023 16:36:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230904143643.259916-7-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230904143643.259916-1-kwolf@redhat.com>
From: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
In block/iscsi.c we use a raw malloc() call, which is unusual
given the project standard is to use the glib memory allocation
functions. Document why we do so, to avoid it being converted
to g_malloc() by mistake.
