Subject: [PATCHv2] dmaengine: idma64: use kzalloc_flex
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 20:49:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321034931.9950-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)

Simplifies allocations by using a flexible array member in this struct.

Remove idma64_alloc_desc. It now offers no readability advantages in
this single usage.

Add __counted_by to get extra runtime analysis.

Apply the exact same treatment to struct idma64_dma and devm_kzalloc.

 v2: allocate with GFP_NOWAIT. Was mistakenly removed.
