Subject: [PATCH] um: vector: use kmalloc_objs() for the message vector
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 07:20:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020072035.8980-1-dennylin0707@gmail.com> (raw)
Allocate mmsg_vector with kmalloc_objs() so the element size is derived
from the destination type and the allocation helper handles multiplication
overflow. The default allocation flags remain GFP_KERNEL.
