Subject: [PATCHv2] dmaengine: dw-axi-dmac: simplify allocation
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 12:44:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260406194424.13365-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
Use a flexible array member with kzalloc_flex() to combine allocations.
Add __counted_by for extra runtime analysis.
Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>

v2: use () for kzalloc_flex in description.
