Re: Input-gameport: Use kmalloc_array() in joydump_connect()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>

Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml

quoted

* 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".

-ENOPARSE.

Do you find an other wording better?


The script "checkpatch.pl" can point information out like the following.

WARNING: Prefer kmalloc_array over kmalloc with multiply
