Agreed, but it is also more verbose. Leavig it as-is, is IMHO, good enough.

Most of the allocation are 'kzalloc(ioc->reply_sz, GFP_KERNEL);', so a
kcalloc could be used instead.
However, the 'kzalloc(SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE, GFP_KERNEL);' breaks this
logic and allocating all at once would lead to spaghetti code for no reason.

Moreover, I don't have any idea how big can be 'ioc->reply_sz', even if
I guess it should be small.
So allocating all at once, could fail where several steps would work.

So I won't play for the bonus points :).

Best regards.
