From: Thomas Meyer Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 21:08:00 +0000 (+0100) Subject: rt2x00: Use kcalloc instead of kzalloc to allocate array X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=839fafbe0dc35fabeb9bd3be9727fd74d12c0b9d;p=linux-beck.git rt2x00: 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.
