[PATCH 0/2] rcu: Use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc()
From: Qianfeng Rong
Date: Thu Aug 21 2025 - 09:47:43 EST
Replace kzalloc() with kcalloc() in kernel/rcu. As noted in the kernel
documentation [1], open-coded multiplication in allocator arguments is
discouraged because it can lead to integer overflow.
Use kcalloc() to gain built-in overflow protection, making memory
allocation safer when calculating allocation size compared to explicit
multiplication.
