Subject: [PATCH] soc: qcom: wcnss: simplify allocation of req
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 19:55:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327025534.7864-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
Get rid of automatic kfree and move allocation down to where it's used.
Use kzalloc_flex as we're dealing with a flexible array member.
Use struct_size to avoid some pointer math.
Add __counted_by for extra runtime analysis. Move the counting variable
assignment to right after allocation as required by __counted_by.
