[PATCH] um: vector: use kmalloc_objs() for the message vector
From: Hungyu Lin
Date: Tue Oct 20 2026 - 03:23:20 EST
Allocate mmsg_vector with kmalloc_objs() so the element size is derived
from the destination type and the allocation helper handles multiplication
overflow. The default allocation flags remain GFP_KERNEL.
