Subject: [PATCH] s390/extmem: Use kmalloc_array() in dcss_set_subcodes()
Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2016 16:15:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6d1ffd4b-ac87-9dca-4ef0-47dd9336e524@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2016 16:06:05 +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".
* 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.
