Subject: [PATCH] atm: nicstar: simplify allocation
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 20:22:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324032243.26387-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
Use a flexible array member with kzalloc_flex to combine allocations
into one.
Add __counted_by for extra runtime analysis. Move counting variable
assignment to right after allocation as required by __counted_by.
