From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2016 15:17:13 +0200 * 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". * 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.
