Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Add --strict test for kmalloc/kzalloc with multiply
Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 16:48:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1400024929.24350.76.camel@joe-AO725> (raw)

Protect against sizeof overflows by preferring
kmalloc_array and kcalloc to kmalloc/kzalloc
with a sizeof multiply.
