#1211656 — [PATCH] usb: core: driver: Use kmalloc_array

FromMuhammad Falak R Wani <falakreyaz@gmail.com>
Date2015-08-23 20:50 +0200
Subject[PATCH] usb: core: driver: Use kmalloc_array
Message-ID<q0Iv7-E5-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
This patch introduces the use of function kmalloc_array(), instead
of using kmalloc(), for allocating memory for an array and removes
the corresponding call to kmalloc().

Allocations like this really don't need to use
kmalloc_array as it's unlikely that USB_MAXENDPOINTS
is very large.

If you are going to do this, it'd be nicer to keep
the parenthesis alignment and likely also better to
remove the dev_warn for a memory leak.
