From: Thomas Meyer Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2011 12:35:43 +0000 (+0000) Subject: ll_temac: Use kcalloc instead of kzalloc to allocate array X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ddf98e6d30a966dbd6e675c90e2caa5b9486e519;p=linux-beck.git ll_temac: 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.
