[PATCH 0/3] Virtio: Fine-tuning for two function implementations

[PATCH 0/3] Virtio: Fine-tuning for two function implementations

A few update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (3):
  virtio_pci: Use kcalloc() in vp_request_msix_vectors()
  virtio_pci: Use kmalloc_array() in vp_request_msix_vectors()
  virtio_ring: Use kmalloc_array() in alloc_indirect()

[PATCH 1/3] virtio_pci: Use kcalloc() in vp_request_msix_vectors()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus reuse the corresponding function "kcalloc".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

[PATCH 3/3] virtio_ring: Use kmalloc_array() in alloc_indirect()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 22:30:45 +0100

* 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 structure by a pointer dereference
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.
