[PATCH 2/3] virtio_pci: Use kmalloc_array() in vp_request_msix_vectors()

Show all headers | View raw

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 22:20:30 +0100

A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus reuse the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
