Subject: [PATCH 1/2] um: add uml_kmalloc_array() helper to avoid potential
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 19:28:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120112938.463596-1-iamhswang@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Haisu Wang <iamhswang@gmail.com>
Add uml_kmalloc_array to avoid potential dynamic multiplication
overflow. Since in Documentation/process/deprecated.rst,
the preferred way is avoid the open-coded arithmetic.
Signed-off-by: Haisu Wang <wanghs18@chinatelecom.cn>
