Subject: [PATCH] x86/amd_nb: Use kmalloc_array() in amd_cache_gart()
Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2016 21:08:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3b30d96b-9280-623d-2bcb-c24e2c94e425@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2016 21:01:47 +0200

* 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".

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.
