Subject[PATCH 01/29] IB/mlx4: Use kcalloc() in mlx4_ib_alloc_pv_bufs()
From
Date
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 20:00:34 +0100

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

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.
