| Subject | [PATCH] x86/hpet: Use kmalloc_array() in hpet_enable() |
| Message-ID | <sdLAt-1Hb-1@gated-at.bofh.it> |
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net> Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2016 21:30:10 +0200 A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation indicated that an array data structure should be processed. Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array". This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
