From 4d67d860531ad5378dedfad7661c540f3365013d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Meyer Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 15:06:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc() to allocate array The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which could result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and it is also a bit nicer to read.
