  [PATCH 1/3] iscsi-target: Use kcalloc() in iscsit_allocate_iovecs() SF Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net> - 2017-04-09 16:30 +0200

#1619504 — [PATCH 1/3] iscsi-target: Use kcalloc() in iscsit_allocate_iovecs()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2017 15:06:00 +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 "kcalloc".

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.
