Subject: [PATCH 01/13] DRBD-receiver: Use kmalloc_array() in receive_uuids()
Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2016 22:22:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52dd5e61-96c1-e309-7a43-20768b05dd24@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3566e764-27b8-82e5-1f8e-c613e5a3a5b1@users.sourceforge.net>

* 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.
