Subject: [PATCHv2] scsi: st: use kzalloc_array()
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 14:53:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703215345.253901-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
Merge allocations to simpily memory management with kzalloc_array(). No
need to kfree separately.
Add __counted_by for extra runtime analysis. Move counting variable
assignment after allocation as kzalloc_flex() does this with newer
compilers.
Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>

v2: remove the kfree and add a description.
