Subject[PATCH] xen/grant-table: Use kmalloc_array() in arch_gnttab_valloc()
Date
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2016 13:23:06 +0200

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus reuse the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

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