Subject[PATCH 16/30] ACPI-processor: Use kmalloc_array() in acpi_processor_get_throttling_states()
From
Date
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2016 19:15:02 +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 structure by a pointer dereference
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
the Linux coding style convention.
