From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2016 18:25:09 +0200 1. A multiplication for the size determination of memory allocations indicated that array data structures should be processed. Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array". 2. Replace the specification of a data structure by pointer dereferences to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention. 3. Delete the local variable "array_size" which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
