[PATCH] dmaengine: pl08x: Use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc()
From: Erick Archer
Date: Sun Jan 28 2024 - 06:53:06 EST
This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1].
Here the multiplication is obviously safe because the "channels"
member can only be 8 or 2. This value is set when the "vendor_data"
structs are initialized.
static struct vendor_data vendor_pl080 = {
[...]
.channels = 8,
[...]
};
static struct vendor_data vendor_nomadik = {
[...]
.channels = 8,
[...]
};
static struct vendor_data vendor_pl080s = {
[...]
.channels = 8,
[...]
};
static struct vendor_data vendor_pl081 = {
[...]
.channels = 2,
[...]
};
However, using kcalloc() is more appropriate [1] and improves
readability. This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.
