Subject: [PATCH 03/18] HID: Use kmalloc_array() in open_collection()
Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2017 20:42:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2db59cee-8bb5-9b53-993b-c03fe5c58225@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <edd25fcd-8625-2469-fa28-2315f81b6b8e@users.sourceforge.net>
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2017 19:09:42 +0100
* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".
* Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
the Linux coding style convention.
