Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ATM-nicstar: Use kmalloc_array() in get_scq()
Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2016 09:17:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <698e4922-e671-f60f-4599-ad4d7613c808@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <fe480e1f-285a-bb98-3550-b4fa354f8174@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.
